Breech baby at 33w 2d - anyone else's turn after this?

I just had another 4D scan & its quite obvious this little girl is breech which initially freaked me out.  My m/w told me last week she was head down and it never crossed my mind. 

Now, thinking about it, something did change since my last appointment & I assumed it was the baby engaging - I now know why her feet no longer live in my ribs.

Just curious if anyone else was told their baby was breech for them to flip in the last few weeks?

The sonographer said they do elective c-sections around 37.5w which gives me 4 weeks left - OMG!

  • Sorry. Mine is still very breech :(  They can turn up until the last minute so explore every option fully with your doctor before doing a c/s unless you really don't care to have one that early.

  • Mine turned at 34 weeks and has been head down ever since.
  • I'm just a few days ahead of you and I'm not that worried about it just yet. The doctors really start to worry around 36 weeks and even then there's still time for the LO to turn. There are natural ways to turn them (google it). And there's always an external, but that's not 100%.

    IMO, I'm waiting until the last minute to get a c/s cause that's not really what to do. But that's your choice.

  • mine has been breech since I know of 32 weeks..but probably sooner. That's when I had my last U/S and when I was told baby was breech.

    37.5 weeks seems early to me.  They are doing my C-section between 39-39.5 weeks.

  • Mine flipped at 34 weeks. There's hope! And I agree that 37.5 weeks seems early... the people I've known who had them because of breech presentation were more like 39 or 39.5.
  • This baby was frank breech at my 32w5d u/s.  At my next u/s a week or so later she was head down.  I had another u/s at 34w and she had flipped back up to transverse breech but then flipped back to head down during the u/s while we watched.  You still have plenty of time!  GL!

  • I was just googling ways to turn them!  hands and knees seems like a popular one.

    I was told by the sonographer 37.5w for a c-section, haven't had a chance to speak to my midwife yet, my next appt is Tuesday.  I thought it seemed a little early. 

    I don't want to have her turned, if she goes by herself then fine, if not then so be it.

    Thanks ladies.

  • 33 weeks is too early to be worried about this.

    There is time and also loads of natural turning methods.

  • DS was breech until 35 weeks.  And I was told there is nothing to really worry about until about 36 weeks.  That baby still has lots of time left to turn around.
