Breech Check-in (May 14th)

MollySm

Sorry I didn't post this this morning!  We had a busy day, and then went straight to the hospital to visit my SIL and their new baby  

How is everyone doing this week?  Did anyone have any success?  Any more thoughts on what you hope to try, or plans for c-sections if you are getting close and need to set a date?

I *think* he may have flipped. I am feeling movement on my right side (he was frank breech with feet on my left side last week). I have an ECV scheduled for next Friday still. I will update after my appt tonight. I feel a little conflicted- I was getting used to the idea of a c- section. I'll be thrilled to have my med-free birth but I was liking the idea if removing some of the guessing game.

My little guy is still transverse as of my 37 week appointment yesterday. Planning on a version next week.

I think he may have flipped, but I'll know more tomorrow after my ultrasound.

I remember someone posting their ECV experience. Would anyone else be willing to share theirs?

My baby is breech. Dr. said that she won't do ECV on first pregnancies. I also have a cord insertion issue with the placenta so I'm (sort of) prepared to have a c-section. Ideally, I'll give birth vaginally, but it's up to baby at this point. She was head down two weeks ago.

@elsa1688 - Let us know how the appointment goes.  I can see feeling conflicted - it's hard to get your head set on one thing, then on another, and then have to switch back.  At least you know that either way it turns out you can be ready for it.  

Those of you having versions, we'd love to hear how they go once you are done.

Waiting until next Tuesday to see if the moxibustion worked..I have been feeling some different movements so I am not sure!

Had appointment today still breech has been the entire time. I go to ob on Monday so will schedule c section at 39 weeks.

I am 35 weeks today.

We decided not to do the ECV so I go in tomorrow to see if LO has flipped on his own. Occasionally, I think I feel hiccups down low and it gets my hopes up, but I really have no clue what he is doing in there. Sometimes I wish there was a window on my belly

No dice. Midwife still thinks he is head up - which means he rotated left to right, not up and down. Bummer.

Just got back from my appt. and he flipped on his own!!! His head is way down too, so hopefully he will stay that way. Woo hoo, so surprised and happy!

 Good luck ladies that your Lo's flip! I am going into week 38, so there's still hope!

Darn it! My son flipped head down a week and a half ago. I was so excited. He flipped breech last night

@CDK211‌ - Bummer! Sounds like he's a good flipper though - hopefully he'll flip back!

We just had our regular OB appointment and they don't think LO has turned so we have a 3 PM PST ultrasound today. They told me because he has been frank breech that if he hasn't turned, he probably won't and we will be scheduling our c-section in the next week. Not the med-free birth I was planning, so having a few good ugly cries about that. It is going to feel weird to pick out his birthdate.

Hang in there.. I'm right there with you. We find out tomorrow his position at 38 weeks. They already scheduled my c section for next week..I guess they aren't very hopeful he flipped. Trying to stay positive right now. Good luck to you!

Good luck to both of you!  I'm sorry this is so frustrating.  I hope they turn!

Lots of good vibes/T&Ps/juju to everyone that is still waiting for their little ones to turn!
