Change of position chances?

Question

My baby is in position to be born vaginally since 34 weeks (vertex position). Well, today (38wks+5) I felt my belly move in a peculiar “harsh” way and been feeling kicks in my right side of the belly.
I have an appointment on Wednesday with my OB but is there any way he might changed to breech or another position? This is making me VERY anxious and literally wanting to cry because I’ve prayed and wish for a natural birth. 😫😫
Hope you can ladies help me ☹️

Answer

Ours was breech and we had a successful version at 38 weeks. There was a 50% chance she could flip back and of course at 40+ weeks I felt big movements like what
You described. Went into our induction convinced that she was breech again. It was a lot of worrying for nothing! She was still head down- they just get too big in there! I also felt kicks only at my sides before and after the version, it totally depends on your body! Don’t stress, it’s going to be fine!

Answer

It’s very unlikely they will change position this late, especially if its your first and if you’re slimmer. There isn’t that much space for them to move that much so it would be difficult and more unusual for them to do it. It’s more likely they will twist around in the position they’re in x

Answer

That’s probably the baby’s fist. My baby moves a lot and one day I thought the same but my doctor told me that there’s a certain point we’re they can’t change position because they don’t have room to do it. Everything is good mommy don’t worry! 💖
