breech baby- when to start worrying?

bunch · July 2009

So my little one is breech, and every day when I feel those kicks down low I have mixed feelings- I'm SO glad to be feeling the kicks, but it makes me remember/know that its still the wrong way. So that makes me worry. I know that the docs say not to worry until later when LO starts running out of room, but still. Any advice?

I wouldn't worry but start thinking about versions at 34 weeks. They are normally performed at 36-38 weeks and of course if you have any questions I would be happy to talk about mine.

You have tons of time to turn. If you find yourself at 32 weeks and breech, then you want to start working to flip the baby around. I just had a client's baby turn at 38 weeks with a combo of acupuncture and a few postures known to help get the baby into an optimal position.

They told me around 34 weeks. Mine flipped from frank breech to vertex (head down) sometime between week 30-31. good luck!

E was breech the entire pregnancy. She sat horizon the entire time, right across my sciatic nerve. The doctor did not worry about it so I just relaxed. About 3 weeks before her due date she moved.
