Anyone else with a breech baby?

Question

I’m 31 weeks and pregnant with my 2nd (1 miscarriage) and wondering if/when she will flip. I’m very short and have a small torso (not sure of that has anything to do with it) but I just have a gut feeling she’s comfy and won’t be moving. My dr said he would check again at 36 weeks. 
Does anyone else have breech baby? Are you scheduled for a C section? What do I need to know?

Answer

You have lots of time! My doctor said they will keep flipping until about 38 weeks and still can at that time. My girl is transverse right now at 32 weeks and im not worried.

Answer

I’m 31 + 5 and my baby is breeched and I had an appointment today and my midwife said there is still plenty of time for him to flip and that it’s nothing to be worried about right now.

Answer

Breach at 32 weeks, head down at 33 she flipped through the week and I couldn’t feel it 🤷🏻‍♀️ every baby is different

Answer

My first was breech - I also had this "sense" that he wasn't moving even though people were giving me advice left and right about acupuncture, laying at a certain angle on an ironing board... Endless stuff. My doc did attempt an external cephalic version (ECV) and it was the worst pain I've ever experienced and it didn't work. I will say some people have them and it's much less painful and it works well. So we scheduled a c section at 39w and sure enough he came out with the cord wrapped around his neck a couple times, so he was stuck in that position and there was definitely no moving him! I'd say consider the ECV if your doctor offers it, but trust your gut in the end.

Look up spinning babies

Answer

I’m 31 weeks and my baby girl is head down but my OB said they still have lots of room to move around and can still flip and turn at this point. Some babies don’t turn head down until labor starts. With my 1st 2 children my OBs didn’t even check if they were head down until labor started which thankfully I had natural labors with them both. I asked my OB at my 30 week appointment and she said they don’t normally check to see if baby is head down until labor starts. ♥️ Good luck momma!!

Answer

Mine is breech too! I'm doing an ultrasound at my 35 week appt next week to determine what kind of breech he is. My midwife said if he's still breech then she'll give me some exercises to do at that point to get him to turn. She didn't seem too concerned yet.

Answer

No idea....just found out at (almost) 35 weeks my baby is breech...doctor told me it’s unlikely baby will flip at this point. I’m going on for a procedure where they flip baby, and then I will be induced so I can have him vaginally instead of a c-section. I am getting rechecked at 36 weeks though.

Answer

Sometimes they don’t do it till actual labor starts
