Have you "felt" breech baby flip??

Question

So I've been seeing a lot of mama's commenting that their breech babies have flipped, and I'm just curious if you actually felt it happen. At my 32 week appointment, baby girl was breech. At 34 weeks, the doctor couldn't tell which way she was and asked if I had felt anything. I told her nothing more than normal movement. I have my 36 week appointment with ultrasound next week and kinda freaking out that she hasn't flipped because I haven't noticed it. Any thoughts?

Answer

Thank you all for responding! My girl has always been SUPER active and I figured that the movements have just gotten more painful because she is getting bigger. Maybe is was her flipping around?! 🤞🏻 I also felt hiccups down low for a couple of days and then felt them right in the middle so that confused the hell out of me too! One more week and we'll see what happens! 😊

I'm in the same situation as you. At my 32 week he was trans, and yesterday he was breech at 34 weeks. They could only tell which way he was by an ultrascan (they thought he could be head down) I haven't felt anything other than normal movement but my friend said she felt her daughter move down? Try not to worry too much, the doctor has told me that it's only a concern if he hasn't moved by week 36! She also said at my 36 week appointment if he is still in breech what they do is try to move the baby with they're hands. Then if this doesn't work, by week 39 they will schedule a C section. Obviously I don't want a C section, just letting you know that my doctor said he still has time to move and she isn't concerned :) hope this helps

Answer

With my second I felt her flip about week before birth. I thought she was going to burst out the front it hurt so bad. My first and third pregnancies baby was head down the whole time. I'm just hoping that #3 will be face down when she comes out, unlike my first who was face up

Answer

I felt my baby flip! I could actually see it as well. She slowly flipped herself and then it was confirmed a a week later at my 34 weeks sono 30 week one she was breech.

Answer

Just found out this am that my 34 weeker is finally head down after 5 stressful (for me) weeks breech. On Saturday she was moving like crazy, which is normal, but some of the moves hurt. In retrospect I think that is when she flipped, bc a few hours later I felt hiccups down very low. Didn't wanna get my hopes up but ultrasound confirmed it today thank goodness.

Answer

I did but didn't know at the time what it was. Baby moved a lot and then I felt so nauseous I had to lie down for the evening.

Answer

Yes! I was on a plane in the middle seat and so uncomfortable.  I thought it was just Braxton hicks and a little freaked out because it lasted about 45 minutes of intense pressure. Then at my next appt an ultrasound showed the baby flipped so I knew that must have been it!!

Answer
