Can baby really flip this late?

JNoelleE

Baby  A is now breech at 31 weeks. Was head down in the beginning, transverse around 25 weeks but now breech. Baby b is head down.

They have said that there is still time for them to flip, but I am feeling a little bummed. Can it really happen this late?  

In other news they are doing great and measuring well, estimated at 4lbs1 oz and 4lbs 3oz. I thought that was pretty good for 31 weeks!

I don't know about the flipping, but those are awesome weights! I hope mine weigh that when we get there!

You still have time for baby A to flip.  My baby A flipped at 35 weeks.

Yes. My baby b flipped breech in between 35 and 36!

I?m 33 weeks and every time I go in for another ultrasound both babies have flipped into a different position. Last week baby A was breech and baby B was transverse, yesterday baby A was head down and baby B was breech, so I definitely think it is possible!

I can understand how disappointing that is, but don't lose hope. My Baby B flipped in my 39th week and several times in the few weeks before that. I have no idea how that was possible.

Both A and B BOTH flipped from head down to breech and back again at 37 weeks for me. They were 9lb11oz and 7lb2oz at birth 38w2d. I watched both of them turn, it was wild and uncomfortable!. .

Oh do I hope I am just like you! I would love weights like that and to make it that far, my Dr says it's highly possible although he doesn't think the weights will be that high, more in the 6 and 7 lbs. Range.

Mine started both transverse, heads on the left, then both flipped vertical, not sure head up or down, then transverse again, this time heads on the right. They have stayed there for a while now, we will see come Wednesday what they are up to during our u/s. 8 weeks to go! We are a scheduled c-section though, so flipping isn't an issue, just a wild, uncomfortable ride every time they do!

My Baby B flipped about twice a day up until 38w on the day of delivery. Our MFM was always shocked to find that he was in a different position for every appt. Both boys were incredibly active and even A was flipping as late at 36/37w.

"A" was always head down, but Little Miss B flipped from head down to transverse during labor.

My baby A flipped at 32w!

Indeed their weights are great. My baby A has been breech since I stepped into my 3rd trimester. I thought she might flip to vertex later on, but she didn't. Currently I'm 36w and she's still breech, while baby b is transverse. Neither the doctor nor can anyone predict anything. Babies have their own mind and stay in the position they are comfortable in. They are pretty active, but have a mind of their own... Hope yours flip. All the best.

mine just flipped in the last two weeks, and we *think* it was when my stomach was tight and I was sick for a day this week when it happened (baby b kept judo-chopping my stomach)

My A flipped head down thanks to the Webster technique around 34 weeks.  My B didn't stay still even in labor.

My baby B flipped at 34w. I happened to be getting an u/s at the time and it felt really strange!
I read somewhere that 25% of babies are breech at 32w (guessing it's higher for twins) but only 3-4% are breech at birth and that's without any procedure to flip them. Apparently as the baby's butt and legs get bigger near term they naturally go to the bigger part of the uterus. I'm not sure how that works with baby B in the way but it's definitely possible! GL!
