Breech?

Question

At 31 weeks, I had a growth scan and left very excited that baby was in the head down position! Due to some pain I was having today at 34 weeks, I went to see my doctor and they ended up doing a non-stress test.. Everything checked out OK, except for the fact that where they found the heart beat makes them suspicious that she may no longer be head down. I have an appointment next week and they'll do a sonogram to check on her position.

Is there anything I can do to help turn her back around? I have no clue at what point this should be a concern.. They said by 38 weeks if she doesn't turn then we may have to have a conversation about a c-section, which I'd really like to avoid if at all possible!

Answer

If baby doesn't turn you can find a midwife or doctor that delivers breeched babies. Unfortunately delivering a breeched baby has become a lost art so c sections seem like the only option but there are midwives and doctors that can deliver a breeched baby if you don't want a c section.

Answer

Check out spinningbabies.com it's full of methods to turn babies into the optimal fetal position for birth. My baby is breech and I've been doing all their methods on and off for the past month. I'll see tomorrow if they worked or if I'm going to have to have baby turned manually. Have you talked to your doctor about trying that before a csection?
