Anyone else have a breech baby at 36+ weeks!?

Question

Will be 37 weeks Sunday and I have a marginal cord insertion so went in for a growth scan today and baby's size is great but she is now breech again and I have mild polyhydramnios.
She has been cephalic (head down) for weeks now and I'm pretty certain she just turned around last night so hoping she hasn't had a chance to get too comfortable yet and will turn around again on her own. My OB offered a version or c-section but said they will not attempt a vaginal delivery if she remains breech. I am very opposed to both procedures so opted to just have a repeat ultrasound in a week to check her position and fluid levels and will be doing a lot of spinning babies in the meantime!
Anyone going through or have gone through something similar?

Answer

Don’t do a version with did that with my first and it was so painful and uncomfortable. Just stick with the cesection. I told myself never again would I have a version. They even thought l was a good candidate lol. Much easier to open for cesectiin. You could also try doing multiple exercises to see if you could get her to turn back.

Answer

Do a bunch of those over the bed inversions and downward dogs. It’s worth a try!

Answer

I’m still breech at 36 weeks and opted out of ECV. It only works 50% of the time and even if successful, the baby could still flip back. Not to mention the risks to the baby (placenta detachment, stopping heartbeat, cord wrapping, etc.). C-section was not ideal but I’d rather leave the baby alone. Good luck!
