Almost 27 weeks and breech...chances of c-section?

twinmomtobe

Baby A is breech right now at almost 27 weeks...well they both are breech actually.

What are the chances of the LO turning? Or should i start thinking a c-section will probably be in the works?

has anyone had similar experiences?

 

thanks

My Baby B turned a day before my induction at almost 39 wks (she kept going back and forth between breech and vertex). She was almost fully vertex so they induced me and let me try for a vaginal. A number of factors ultimately had my MFM convert to a c/s in the end (baby B repositioned after they broke A's water and wasn't able to descend further in the birth canal) but I'm glad I had a chance of trying for the delivery I hoped for.

GL! There's still a chance your LO will flip!!

You have plenty of time for them to move!  Dont get your lose you hope for a vaginal delivery yet!

Mine didn't move. The OB I consulted with about doing a vaginal breech delivery (just to see what he'd say. He said not with twins) said he rarely saw twin A flip with twins after 30w.

Mine were in such a weird position I don't think he could move, though, so hopefully yours are more favorable. 

If you search my blog for "breech" there are a bunch of breech turning tips on there somewhere

ETA: One of the things that's not on there that I saw too late is don't recline. Sit as upright as possible always. I don't know if I could have done that bc of rib pain, but worth a shot if you can.

Mine flipped at 34w2d and I delivered vaginally the next day when I was induced due to PreE...plenty of time!!  Good Luck either way!!

You definitely have time for them to flip. My baby A was stubborn and stayed breech the entire time. I think she liked sitting in my hip bone/on my cervix. My baby B switched from breech to transverse to breech and eventually flipped to vertex by the time I had my c-section at 37w2d. As much as I wanted a vaginal delivery, I had resigned myself to the idea of a c-section by about 32 weeks and started trying to mentally prepare myself for it so I was ready for it when the time came. Good luck!

My Baby B flipped between 27-29weeks to the breech position.  It wasn't till this past scan (34 weeks) that my OB said the chances of it flipping back were pretty slim.  So a lot could change in the next few weeks.  Hopefully they'll cooperate for you.

My Baby A was vertex until about 27 weeks, at which point he flipped breech.  Baby B was always breech or vertex.

I had a scheduled c-section and it was very easy, both the procedure and the recovery.

thanks for the responses

 I have no problem having a c-section; in fact I'm kind of hoping I have one. I have a really low lying pubic bone and one of the OBs that I saw at 12 weeks was worried that a vaginal birth would be hard for me. This was before I even found out I was having twins.

My dr said they could have turned up until the last few weeks, but baby A went breech at 24 weeks and never turned back so we ended up with a C.

Up until delivery my babies were flipping around all over the place.  I was having u/s 3x week, and I think in one week Owen (baby A) went from breech, to vertex, to transverse.  Miles (baby was always either right or left transverse.  They were super active in utero.  I did have a c-section which I knew was coming anyway regardless of their positions.
