Breached Baby, Scheduled C Section???

Hi! Just curious who still has a breached baby? Has your doctor scheduled a c section? At what point to do they make that decision? or are most doctors different - will some just wait it out? My doctor hasn't communicated anything with me about a game plan. I'll ask him next week, but I'm just curious about your situations!

  • My baby is breach and the Dr scheduled a c-section for 39 weeks. She scheduled it at 35 weeks b/c she said the hospital likes that kind of procedure scheduled at least 4 weeks in advance. We still continued to check to see if she flipped or not each week, but hasn't. I would maybe ask what the chances of the c-section are at your next appt.

  • Hi...I scheduled my c-sect at 35 weeks b/c LO is breech.  He has been since 29 weeks and while there is always the chance he would turn, we don't expect him to.  My OB said it was ok to schedule the c/s for anytime 39 weeks or later, which would have been today, but due to the hospital schedule the surgery is planned for Wednesday (39w2d).  I probably didn't need to schedule it that early but I wanted to at least get it on the board in case that's what ends up happening and its looking that way at this point.

    Good Luck!

  • I'm 38 weeks & baby is still sitting frank breech.  We're still planning a home birth. The biggest worry for me in delivering is cord prolapse, but, of that happens, we will go to the hospital at that point. I'm still hoping this little one turns, and I feel pretty strongly that at the very least, we're going to let this one pick their arrival day.

  • I'm 38 weeks. My doctor and I have been taking things week by week, but she has told me if baby doesn't flip she'd like to schedule during week 39.  I am prepared at my appt coming up Fri to schedule the eviction date. But I'm hoping my dr will be ok with scheduling it during my 40th week since baby is still awful comfy in there :)

  • My baby is transverse and that haven't even mentioned c section yet. They think there is still plenty of time for her to turn. But she measured big last week so we may have an ultrasound and get more answers then.

  • I'm almost 39 weeks and baby has been breech and stubborn since about 24 weeks. We tried flipping him and he's literally stuck up under my rib cages. He's perfectly happy there. They scheduled me for a c-section this coming Thursday. They told me at this point its just too late in the game for him to be able to flip himself.
