Any 1st time mom's with a breech baby?

I've got a frank breech baby right now...just talked to my OB and she says that if at 36 weeks and she hasn't changed positions...c section it is! Any other ladies have a little breech baby??

:raises hand: at my next appt. we're discussing an external version or c/s options. I still haven't decided what I want to do and am just praying that she turns before next Monday.

Yep - LO decided to go complete breech at 35 weeks...and I'm on bedrest for ptl. So now if I go into real labor, it'll be an immediate c/s...and if I don't, my ob is scheduling a c/s a week before my due date.

Cut to me doing every ridiculous stretch and position to try and make him flip before then

I do! I am scheduled for a section on August 11th.

Mine's still flipping all over the place--she's been alternating head up and head down at ev. appointment, so our fingers are just crossed that she lands on head down!

hijoi:
Nathaniel was breech, but not frank breech. He turned at 38 weeks. I had a C-section anyway, and my recovery was quite quick and painless. (Less than a week on painkillers. And believe me when I say, I don't handle pain at all.)

I've heard that having a section is less painful....which in my case is better! i.e I don't handle pain well!! Tongue Tied

Baby Eggs is frank breech - we'll find out tomorrow if he's done any flipping at my growth scan.

My SIL did...she was told the same ~~ and ended up having a c section - everything went great

I know I'm really early now to be worrying about a breech baby, but mine is frank breech as well. She has been for at least two weeks now (when I had my last u/s), so I'll talk to my doctor at my next appointment this week.

I'm not a first time mom this time, but DD #1 was frank breech. I will tell you that I tried the external version and was really very sore for a few days afterwards. My belly just felt bruised all over! Ended up having a c-section because she wouldn't/couldn't turn. The c-section was not bad at all, in fact I knew after my last one that I wouldn't try VBAC because my recovery was so easy. I have a decent pain tolerance and was taking just tylenol 2 days after the c-section.

Another hint: If you do have a c/s, walk as soon as you possibly can and as often as you feel up to it. The girls on here told me that when I had DD #1 and I think it's a lot of what led to my quick and easy recovery.

Good Luck!
