When should baby be head down?

Question

I am currently 23 weeks and my little girl is still bottom down. It has me a little concerned because my last child was breach and I was forced to have a c-section. I really want to attempt VBAC this go around but each time I have an ultrasound, babies bottom is always down near my cervix and her little head up towards my ribs. As baby gets larger I can only imagine it gets more difficult for them to turn. What position are your little ones in?

Answer

My 1st baby was breach till about 37 weeks! They told me to get down on my hands and knees and scrub the floor! 😂 it worked. 2nd baby was head down at about 30 weeks - I’m 22+5 now and baby still feet down but I’m not concerned - good luck! X

Answer

They expect it until around week 34. Your baby still has plenty of time and will most likely flip several more times between now and then. 
I’m a fellow c-sectioner due to a stubborn baby hoping to go for a VBAC as well 😊

Answer

My daughter was head up at 29 weeks and was head down 10 weeks later so there’s plenty of time

Answer

I’m 22.5 weeks and she was side ways for the last few weeks. They move a lot now. With my first she was sideways u til like 32/33 weeks

Answer

When I did my anatomy scan at 20+2 she started breech but by the end she was head down so I think it's normal for them to flip around a bit at this stage

Answer

My daughter is Breech but the doctor says at 35 weeks we will check her. My friend is 34 weeks and baby is Breech and the dr will attempt to turn the baby

Answer

My baby is also breech and I really don't want to have a csection! Ive been bouncing on my yoga ball and doing the downward dog position to encourage him to flip around haha. I have another scan at 26 weeks I hope hes head down by then.

Answer

You have plenty of time for baby to turn most arent in position until 30 weeks and after
