Oh NO... Breech Baby

I'm pretty sure this LO has turned breech. I felt hiccups last night high on my right side and nothing down low, same thing this morning. I know this isn't an automatic c-section but I'm feeling a bit discouraged. I have put so much work into this VBAC, I really want my chance!

I have an ultrasound on Friday and will contact a chiropractor if my suspicions are confirmed. I know it is still early and baby has lots of time to move. 

I guess this is more of a vent, sorry ladies, thanks for reading!

    The baby does still have tome to move around, but if it doesn't, have you considered an external version? I don't know what the limits are on when you can have them done, but it might be worth looking into. Good luck mama!

    Hiccup position means NOTHING, I never felt hiccups with DD anywhere but down SUPER low and she was always breech.

    I know they still have plenty of time to turn, but I also know how you feel. DD was breech at 32 weeks and everyone told me to give it time, turns out I had almost sero fluid and she would have nver turned.

    Good Luck!! Have you tried the spinning babies tricks?

    My baby is breech now, AGAIN.  I had a c-section with my son because he was breech.  He turned breech around 28 weeks, and exactly the same thing happened this time...  With him, I couldn't try turning him because I went into preterm labor at almost 32 weeks, but this time I'm going to try acupuncture and exercises.  I saw my ob today, and she told me she wouldn't do an external version because I had a c-section before.  I'm fine with that, but I'll try everything else!  

    Btw, I feel my baby's hiccups very low toward my left thigh.  The reason I know my baby is breech is I had an ultrasound at 29 weeks, and since around that time, I can feel the baby's head right below my ribcage, just like I felt my son's head.   

    We still have time, but now is a good time to try turning the baby.

    My belly baby went breech a few times recently and each time, I've literally done two 1-minute inversions (learned on spinningbabies.com) and baby has turned back each time. Maybe my LO wasn't completely breech and more transverse, but the bottom line is that it was in the wrong position. 

     

    Lots of luck and there's still plenty of time!

    My baby seems to prefer breech position.  I have my first appointment with the chiropractor tomorrow morning. She seems confident and my doula recommended her.  I find when he's in breech position I'm VERY uncomfortable.  He kicks my bladder, cervix and rectum.  I also get more braxton hicks and I just feel more uncomfortable in general.

    Thanks ladies, I had an ultra-sound last week and baby is head down, at least for now;) I'm pretty sure my Dr. gave me the ultra sound in an attempt to risk me out for a big baby. But that's another story.

    Good luck to all of you that have breech babies!

    My OB's office would not consider me for an ECV because of my previous c/s, but my chiro flipped this baby at 36 weeks with 1 single Websters session. Give it a couple weeks (they don't even usually begin to worry about baby being breech until 35w) and if LO is breech at that point, find a Webster trained chiro!
