Breech

Anyone else told that their babe is likely breech at this point? 
Tomorrow I'm 33 weeks. Having an ultrasound in a week and a half to see if babe has turned or if he/she is breech.
I've found some stretches to do at home to try to encourage movement to a head down position. Fingers crossed babe is head down before my ultrasound.

Yup! 34+4 and confirmed every time with an ultrasound in office. If he doesn't flip by next Friday at my next appointment I'll be booked for a section. However they still ultrasound right before they are about to do the surgery and if he has turned before then they will call it off so he still has time!

My baby was breech at my last appointment (30 weeks). I have been trying some of the tips on spinningbabies website. I also had my chiropractor try and loosen up some ligaments. It has been about a week and I can tell she has changed position a little but I won't be sure until my appointment next week.

With my 2nd baby was breech early in the 3rd tri.  I used spinning babies exercises and she turned.  This time I think baby is head down, based on where I feel her hiccups, but she's still squirming around in there so we'll see.

Hoping all your babies spin to head down soon!

My OB told me that they wait until 35 weeks to really start worrying about being breach because until then there is typically still room for the baby to preposition on its own. After 35 weeks chances of that happening are a lot lower. Just an FYI for those of you still before your 35th week. Fingers crossed for you!

Same. My midwives won't even start checking "for real" until 36 weeks since baby still has room to flip around until then. Hoping everyone's kiddo turns upside down in the next few weeks!

My little boy is breech, I'm having a scan in 2 weeks to receck but at the last scan he was incomplete breech and his butt if firmly wedged in my pelvis... my OB says that baby feels very big and he may not have room to turn...

My midwife checked me at 31 weeks and said she thought baby girl was head down.

Mine was breech at my last appointment at 30 weeks, but I have placenta previa so I have already accepted that I will need a c section anyway. Hope your baby turns before your ultrasound!

DD was breech until 38 weeks. DS was breech at 31 weeks and we'll recheck at my appt next week at 34 weeks. 

You do have options if LO doesn't flip. Look into spinning babies for exercises to do at home to encourage LO to flip. Closer to term, before scheduling a csection, your OB can try to do a version where they attempt to manually turn baby. But don't worry too much. Most babies do flip.
