Breech at 30wks?

mags2041

So we just had our 30wk u/s and, as I expected, this kid is breech.  I have always felt kicks super low with him.  I know we still have gobs of time left and my OB nurse gave me some excersizes to do to help him turn.  Plus I do tons of yoga and know my teacher will have some poses that should help him turn around.  If he's still breech at 37wks, we have the option of having a version (sp?) at the hospital.

But I need some success stories... If your kid was breech at 30wks or later, did they turn and when?

ETA:  otherwise the kid looked great!  Another big-headed boy!  I have some 3Ds that I'll try to post later of his precious face.

Long time no see! How is your brother feeling??

This baby was breech until last week (or was it 2weeks). I wasn't worried because I am a scheduled c/s anyways, but around 30 or so weeks it was confirmed that s/he was breech and then s/he turned head down by my last appointement/ internal. HTH and GL!!

DD turned around 33 weeks.  It hurt like hell- I thought I was in labor, and it turned out she had just flipped.  I told my OB I would NOT do an external version, so I was glad she flipped.  Ended up with a C/S anyway (emergency during labor)- but it all worked out for the best.

DS was breech until 35 weeks! He finally turned then. I did nothing special with him, he just did it when he was good and ready. LOL GL!

I'm currently pregnant (34 weeks) and the baby was breach at 30 weeks, transverse at 32 weeks, and head down at this week's appointment.  Have you seen the website www.spinningbabies.com?  I did some of the exercises from there - not sure if that's what did it or if the baby turned on it's own, but it can't hurt to try!

My DD was breech for a long time.  About 2 weeks before due date an ultrasound showed that she flipped.  Then in my last week of pregnancy I saw 3 different doctors for various reasons.  Not one of them picked up on the fact that she flipped to breech position again.  It was only when I was actively trying to push her out after induction that they realized she was breech and gave me an emergency c-section.

I think I know when she flipped back to breech.  I remember feeling her move and thinking that she flipped - but I didn't trust myself and I didn't question the doctors.  If I had it to do all over again.  I would have asked for another ultrasound.

Best wishes to you!  (Oh, the plus side of my story is the c-section was actually a much easier recovery than my earlier vaginal delivery recovery with DS.)

 THIS!!  I, too, was against a version and I was concerned about him not turning, but one night as I was trying to fall asleep, he started going bananas and I thought I was going into labor -  talk about pain!!  Little man flipped on his own, but wow... what an experience!

The docs don't worry til 36w - there's plenty of time. ?DD stayed that way, DS was transverse til 34w. ?Only about 3% of births are breech.

I also had a version. Try to hang in there until you know for sure you need to worry about it (I know, easier said than done). ?Version in detail in my so-called bio if you're interested.
