Breech baby?

Question

Weird how when I first signed up for Glow, I'd get a lot of responses when I posted questions and concerns and now days, I'm lucky to get one response. I do want to say I appreciate the women who do take the time to respond to me. ANYWHO, at my 22 week ultrasound, my boy was breech. I know that's nothing to worry about until around 37 weeks. Well I'm 27 weeks now. All of the kicks I feel are below my belly button, above my pubic bone. Is it safe to assume he's still breech? I'm wondering if it's because he still has some room in there. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this.

Answer

I feel my baby's movements inside my pelvis like is she's so down there, she's still breach. Tomorrow I'll know how she's looking. I get biweekly ultrasound cuz I'm high risk :(

Answer

I felt kicks all over the place and she was breech until 34 weeks. The best way to know is to ask your doctor.

Answer

My boy was breech up until 32 weeks.  He engaged around 35 weeks, and now at 38 weeks I'm just waiting for spontaneous labour.  Try not to worry- they have plenty of room to move and Drs don't worry about the position until at least 34-36 weeks.  I've been seeing a Chinese medicine practitioner throughout my pregnancy and they have non-invasive ways to help move a baby from 34 weeks if they need encouragement (research supporting this).

Answer

Yes, most likely your baby is breech right now, but nothing to worry about right now. My ds was breech and they don't start worrying about it until 34ish weeks. My ds never turned and the risk was too high for a doctor to try and turn him in my case, so I ended up having a cs. This time I am 24 weeks pregnant with my 2nd ds and he always kicks really low so he is mostly breech but about once a week I can feel him turn, but he turns right around the same day and goes back to breech. But a planned cs is a lot easier to recover from than an emergency cs, from what I habe heard. Yes, it's terrifying beforeand in the moment, but it's not as bad as you think. Good luck.
