Could you feel your breech baby flip?

Question

I’m on my 3rd baby and the stubborn girl is breech at 30 weeks and she’s been breech the whole time. Never had this before with my other 2. Could you feel when your breech baby flipped to the right way? Did the kicks start feeling different?  Also interested if any of the old wives tales worked for you on getting your baby head down.

Answer

Nope. Both of my boys were transverse until very late (atypically late) in pregnancy. The first ultimately went breech. The second completely flipped sides and then went head down between 37-38 weeks. I had no clue!

Answer

I was 36 weeks with my second and she was breech she flipped before I was induced at 39 weeks and I think I know when she flipped because the position of my belly changed and also she was moving one day and it was really really painful like she was literally turning. it only happened that one time so that’s definitely when she flipped.

Answer

I’m 31 weeks and my baby is transverse position. She did move from having her head on the left, now the head is on the right but I never felt it and my placenta is anterior so that might have something to do with it. My doctor said there is still time for the baby to move. I have my next ultrasound to check on growth at 36weeks

Answer

Yes. My second baby was head down at the anatomy scan.. they did a scan again at 32 weeks & he was breech. (I was getting growth scans every week) I came in the next week and he was head down.. then the week following he was breech again , lol. He kept flipping himself & I could definitely feel it every time he did. He finally stayed head down at 36 weeks & they were never concerned about it.

Answer

I'm 37 and still breech. They're checking each week. I THOUGHT she flipped because one day while she was moving around I had these sharp pains from the pushing (down below and not up top like usual) and had urgency to pee from the pressure that I thought "well that's different - she flipped!" Come a few days later at the docs office, nope, never flipped, still breech
My point is, be hopeful, but don't assume unless it's confirmed via us

Answer

Nope. My youngest was all over the place till he finally flipped over naturally at 39 weeks.

Answer

Mine was breech from 30ish to 34ish weeks and without the ultrasound, I would have had no idea he flipped. Some people say the pressure feels different, and location of kicks but I never noticed a thing! I wouldn't stress at this point 😊
