Possible breech baby

RoeniRoeni member
in Pregnant after IF
Since my OB's office does not do ultrasounds that often (the last one was my A/S scan and they don't do another until 38 weeks) they don't even know that my baby is breech.  In the last 2 months they have felt around very lightly and said he is head down, however, at my last 3 elective 4D ultrasounds at 30w, 32w, and 36w the baby was transverse every single time.  This makes me think my OB has no clue.  My next appointment is this Friday and I will be almost 37 weeks.  I called to let them know that my baby is not head down as they have said and am awaiting a call back from the nurse.  I would think they would want to try to intervene at this point if they could and try ECV or something given I am almost 37 weeks at my next appointment or at least give me an ultrasound sooner than 38 weeks!!! I can definitely always feel the back of this baby's head at the top of my uterus or off to this right side.  They have always said it could be is bottom, but now I know it is his head because I saw it for myself!  I guess this is a partial rant and discussion to anyone that might have experienced this before...any thoughts?  Should I demand an earlier ultrasound?

    It doesn't matter if the baby is breech right now. They don't "lock" into position until the 37th week. Normally they check for breech after week 37.

    By lock into position do you mean engage? Because an ECV cannot be attempted after the baby is engaged from what I have read...and I will be almost 38 weeks by my appointment after this one.

    Yes. At my OB they do the ECV after 37 weeks and do not do it before.

    Looks like you got your answers! Good luck!
