breech baby

Last week at my 38 week appointment we discovered my little man is breech.

Tomorrow morning I return for an ultrasound and we'll make a plan.  If he's still breech we will schedule an external aversion for this week, hope he flips and then induce, or if he doesn't go for a c-section.  Both options make me nervous and at first I was so sad this birth isn't going to happen as I had envisioned.  Right now I'm just praying for a healthy delivery no matter how he comes.  T&Ps appreciated!

  • Good luck!  My LO is breech as well, our c/s is scheduled for Monday.  I'm stilll a little nervous about the c/s but if thats the healthiest way, then I'm ok with it.  I think I'm more scared about the recovery than the actual procedure!

  • Good luck with the inversion!  I hope it works out and if not, at least you know you did everything you could to have the birth you envisioned, but that it was outside of your control.

  • Our LO is still breeched also. Had our 38 wk check up today and scheduled a c-section for next tuesday. Took me a while to come to terms with not having a reg labor/birth, but it seems to be the best option for both baby and me. Good luck to you and baby!
