Did this happen to you?

So we just got back from our third extended stay in L&D. Baby A has always been breech and Baby B is head down. Doctor made a comment that Baby B could always shove her head in there, move A's feet out of the way, and become the presenting baby. Has this happened to anyone here? If so, how far along were you?

A set of frat b/g twins I went to school did that. Not sure how common it is though.

my a&b were always pushing each other out of the way. joke was on them, they were never gonna come out that way anyway. (B ended up coming out first, and A ended up last.)

Nope..this didn't happen to me. My baby A stayed A and B stayed B. My baby A was breech from 24ish weeks until my scheduled C sec at 38w and my baby B moved sidways around 32w.

I had an u/s three days before I went into labor and both babies were heads down. When I went into labor they did an u/s and B had flipped (he became breech) and had slipped his foot in front of A's head and became the presenting baby. I was 33 weeks.

My A was vertex from 28w on; my B kept flipping back and forth between breech and vertex. A's head was pretty low in my pelvis for the whole third tri so I don't think it would've been very possible at all for B to move into his place.

Mine are like that now - but I guess it depends on their position.  My little man (baby a) is definitely the frontrunner and although they are "side by side"  he is much lower than his sister and always has been.  If he doesn't flip for me I know that I'll be c-sectioned =( 

Best of luck to you I hope that all goes well!

I guess it was about 30 weeks when I found out that Baby A and B had flipped. Baby B is our presenting baby and head down, Baby A is breech. I have to remind the u/s techs at every u/s to check their placentas so they know which baby is which because they always assume the presenting baby is Baby A.

Since 30 weeks they've been in the same posiiton and I don't see that changing before my scheduled c-section!

So far mine switch places in terms of being closest to the cervix, but if one of them is head down that one always "wins," lol.

 

I'm really, really hoping one of them turn head down so I can try for a vag delivery.  As far as I know, the docs will do an u/s to determine position before doing anything, so there's always a chance your B could push forward!!
