Positive thoughts for Breech baby...

Just had my 34 week checkup and our little Peanut is still breech. The doctor showed me that her little feet are on my bladder... Which explains my trips to the bathroom every 5 minutes. If she hasn't flipped in two weeks, they will try to get her to flip. If that doesn't work, they want to schedule a C section. I know it isn't the end of the world but a scheduled C section or C section in general is something I really don't want. I am going to keep doing my spinning baby tricks, handstands in the pool and anything else that might work. I am really bummed right now and could use any tricks, words of encouragement, or positive thoughts you ladies may have.

  • Mine was still breech at my 35w appointment. They scheduled a version, and at 36 I went in and she had flipped!! I never felt her so I was so surprised! Good luck you still have time!!
  • I hope she flips for you! 
  • Sending you some good mother flipping vibes!!
  • Hoping your little one flips soon!
  • Try moxibustion with an acupuncturist.  It worked with my 2nd baby twice when he decided to flip breech again after my first treatment and even my ob was stunned that he was head down in time for delivery.

    Thanks ladies!!! I really appreciate all the words of encouragement! You made me feel better and gave me hope. I will do what I can and keep thinking positive thoughts.
  • TnP's that baby flips!! 
  • My baby finally made the flip at 36 weeks also. Stay calm and give he/she some time. Until then, stay busy and maybe look at spinningbabies.com for some helpful tips. FX baby will flip! 
  • Praying she starts practicing her gymnastics at an early age!! Wink face.. I'm mobile ha. Best of luck!

    Hope baby flips for you! My DS was breech, but we didn't discover that until my due date...c/s two days later....you've got lots of time for baby to move still, but if not, my c/s was not nearly as bad as i expected...it certianly was not how i had imagined my baby's birth, and i lost a lot of my birth plan choices, but i could have saved more of them if i had know ahead of time...but still - FLIP BABY FLIP!

  • Walk a lot!!!! And sit on an exercise ball as much as possible. Never lean back or recline : those are some tips my doula gave me!! Hope it helps!
  • I am 37 weeks and baby is still breech. I have a scheduled c/s planned in case he doesn't flip. 

    Good luck to you. I didn't want a scheduled c/s myself, but it isn't the end of the world.

    your story is exactly me, ive been trying every trick ive read about. my doc tells me not to worry to much, she wouldnt be concerned till 36 weeks, but of course ive been worried for weeks now. things that keep me slightly optimistic is that i read that it is in the 90% range of babies that end up flipping, and thats a really high percentage so we have odds on our side. im gonna try and go to a chiropractor, my doula was saying that the Webster Technique can be successful, but who really knows if it all the weird positions or other stuff that works or just baby taking its time then flipping when its ready. either way i will try anything, i wil be hoping your baby flips real soon
