Breech baby... anyone else ?

Question

36 weeks baby has been breech the whole time most likely scheduling a c-section for 39 weeks. First baby and I feel like there’s no room for her to flip 😔

Answer

I’m almost 39 weeks and I have polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid) so my uterus has been measuring 3 weeks ahead since around 24 weeks. My baby is still flipping all the time because she/he has lots of room, but we went ahead and decided to book a c-section for this coming Thursday because baby was transverse at my 38 week check. They will give me an ultrasound before surgery and if baby happens to be head down I can opt for an immediate induction instead. 
I’m sad that either way I won’t have natural labor or delivery, especially because this is my last baby. I got sort of close to natural with #2 (they gave me the cervical gel at 41 weeks and it put me into labor almost immediately). I’m also nervous about surgery so I am preparing by reading and making peace with it now. The only upside is we have a set date on the calendar and I know exactly how much time I have to finish getting my house ready. I don’t have to sit around just waiting to go into labor!

Answer

36 weeks and baby is breached FTM, but measuring 41weeks and they are saying she is 9lbs at 36weeks

Answer

I’m 36 weeks tomorrow & no one has checked and/or told me if my baby is breech or not 😳🙄

Answer

Have you went to the chiro? I have always been weird about going to chiropractors but my babe was breech at 34 weeks so I went to one per the recommendation of lots of friends (and nothing from spinning babies worked... inversion etc.) he stretched my round ligaments and the little guy flipped!! Still engaged at 36 weeks! 🤞🏼

Answer

37 weeks tomorrow. Baby girl is breech. I’m also a FTM, I do not think baby will flip. I’ve tried spinning baby stuff and I’ve seen a chiropractor since 25ish weeks (before I even knew she was breech). I think there’s a reason she’s breech, the safest option is a csection. We have a scheduled csection for 5/6! 
Hard not to be a little disappointed that I won’t get to deliver her naturally. But, I want a healthy baby most of all and that means a csection. 
Hang in there, Mama!
