Anyone else breech?

Question

Found out last week that our little guy is breech (I’ve known and told my midwives but they always insisted that it isn’t a big deal until 36 weeks).
Anyone else have a breech baby? Did you do a version? Was it successful?

Answer

My baby boy is breech and I’m now 38+1. I did a version last week and it was unsuccessful unfortunately and he is still breech as of today so I am scheduled for a csection on the 6th. As much as I wish he would have turned I’m just happy he will be here soon and healthy :) I do have to say the version was unbelievably painful but I don’t regret doing it because now I am at peace with the fact that I did all I could. Whether you do it or not I’m sure you will make the right call for you and your sweet baby. Hang in there and good luck!

Answer

37 weeks and still breech. I was leaning towards not doing an ECV since I have the added bonus of having an anterior placenta but two days ago he got halfway to head down and stayed there all day then flipped back to frank breech at 3:30 yesterday morning. I didn’t have my OB yesterday so we are supposed to discuss it next week. I’m hoping that was a sign that he could get al the way head down with a little extra help and maybe once he’s down there he will stay. If not I’ll be fine with a c section also, just want him here and safe.

Answer

My baby turned breech at 36 weeks. Tried an ECV this week at 37 weeks; it was unsuccessful. He’s going to be born via c section at 38+6 next week

Answer

Found out at 36 weeks that she is breech. Im having a csection on Friday at 39+5
I was offered version but at 36 weeks. I opted out due to the risk of emergency csection at 36 weeks. Also it seems to me that version is something i do for me bc in wanted a natural birth and not what is best for her. I have not heard good stories about  version . Even when successful, it is painful and stressful.

Answer

My little one has been breech since 34 weeks, we opted out of the ecv and have a scheduled c section planned for December 9th unless he flips.

Answer

I had my ECV on Monday at 37 + 3. Baby girl flipped..... then kept going. Three turns, three complete 360s. I’m very disappointed to say the least as I’ve tried literally everything to get her to go head down. 
The procedure itself seems to differ depending on which hospital you’re at. Mine didn’t offer pain meds during the procedure but I was given a muscle relaxer that worked incredibly fast. Only downside was it made my heart race and I was super shaky (like I had drank 19 cups of coffee). I would say it was more discomfort than true pain during the procedure, however, I am more sore now on day two after the procedure in 2-3 spots on my belly and have some slight bruising. I was very nervous going into it but they monitored baby girl very well and her heart rate stayed normal during the entire version. Perhaps I just have a future gymnast on my hands? 
I chose the version because in my mind it was the final thing I could try and I knew I would regret not having tried everything possible.

Answer

36 weeks today and baby is breech. My dr doesn’t try and flip until I’m in the hospital with the epidural. I could have also just went ahead with the csection but we are going to try to flip her first.

Answer

I will be 36 weeks sunday. At my last appointment baby was transverse and they said they want him/her head down by 36 weeks or we will begin to discuss evc. I don't think the babe has moved into a different position. I'm a little nervous. Didn't have this issue with my other kids.

Answer

I'm due 12/19...Monday they confirmed she is still breech and have scheduled me for the ECV on Friday. I'm super nervous and almost just want them to schedule a C-section.

Answer

I am also breech, 36 weeks tomorrow.  Baby has never been head down, so I’m not thinking it’s likely he will flip.  I opted not to try ECV.  C-section is tentatively scheduled for 12/24.

Anyone else breech?
