I’m 30 weeks pregnant and baby is currently in breech position. 3 weeks ago at 27 weeks it wasn’t in breech. How concerning is this in regards to hopefully having a natural delivery?

Question

Baby is in breach position at 30 weeks pregnant. This is my second pregnancy. The first pregnancy baby was never in breech as far as I know, and had a natural birth. I’m trying to avoid needing to have a c section, but I realize sometime there is no choice in the matter. 
Please comment and give opinions!!
Thank you so much in advance 😀

Answer

They switch all the time! I know people where baby switched head down at 38w... i was the unfortunate case where I was head down at 38w6d and next day at 39w he went breech 🤷‍♀️ so goes to show they can switch whenever!

Answer

You still have time. By 36 weeks is when my doctors wanted to see because baby should be getting themselves in position and low in your pelvis at this point. 
Btw how did they confirm your baby is no longer in breech position? Was it by feel or ultrasound? My baby was breeched from the start and three out of my five doctors claimed she flipped in those last few weeks (my water broke day after due date) they felt externally and one did a cervix feel. However, when I went into labor, they discovered via ultrasound that baby was still breeched. I felt like she never turned into position like they thought. I was pissed that I was misled. They made me wait 4 hours (they wanted me to wait 6) before epidural and surgery because I ate a granola bar (they told me over phone it’s ok to eat snack before coming in) but my contractions were coming fast. It worked out fine, I thought I was going to have anxiety going into OR but I was just too focused on getting it over with. 
Just prepare yourself with c section knowledge and the possibility so you aren’t pissed at your doctors like I was lol
