Yet another ultrasound...(Breech baby)

So, I had yet another ultrasound today to check my baby's position. I've been having extra ultrasounds with my perinatologist, and today's ultrasound was honestly a waste of time and money because we already knew the baby was still breech. We can clearly feel his/her head under my ribcage, and the technician was like, "I wonder why your doctor is having you do this today..."
One good thing, I guess, she told me was that the baby has plenty of space and fluid to turn, and he/she is not stuck like my son was...

Good Luck!! I hope your sweet angel turns for you.
My son never did. The day I went in for my C/S they did an ultrasound to see if the baby had turned before they got be settled in for my surgery. When the nurse brought in the machine, I said you know that's pointless, he hasn't move. I would have felt it. She check for like 2 seconds and said your right, surgery it is.

Good luck! Remember: they can turn ANY time, even right before labor! Feel free to try "nautral" methods to get the baby to turn, like, laying upside-down on the couch (not comfortable, but funny!) and going to the pool and doing summersaults.
My first was breech and we tried everything (except aversion, for medical reasons). I ended up being forced in to a c-section because she was breech and the cord was around her neck twice; quite likely that kept her from turning. Even though I wanted to go natural all the way, and everything about the c-section went just super: the surgery, LO was super healthy (9 on both apgar tests), and my recovery was quick and easy! So, even if you find yourself facing a c-section, please be encouraged that you can still have a great delivery and lots of fabulous bonding with your baby.
