breech?

ramsfamgrowing · February 2012

my ob says there is still plenty of time but my baby is 20weeks and is cross legged breech. has anyone else had a cross leg breech flip? my other pregnancies have been head down and ready from this poiunt forward so now im worried this one is not going to cooperate.

At 20 weeks your baby will flip back and forth on a regular basis. I wouldn't worry about it or take measures until around 32.

I had a breech baby until 36 weeks when I got a version (after weeks of acupuncture, spinning babies, and seeing a chiropractor). She flipped and is still heads down now.

Please don't worry about it right now. Most babies will go to heads down on their own before 34 weeks.

You still have LOTS of time! My LO has just started moving head down and I'm 25 weeks, but really, up until 36 weeks you still have room.

Even if you're breech, your LO could flip when you start your labour.

If you're worried, google 'spinning babies', but I think that's only if you're still breech past 36 weeks.

There's also accupuncture that works really well that you could look into.

My baby was breech until 32 weeks and has consistently been measuring 3 weeks ahead. I was so stressed and worried about it. I did a lot of the spinning babies exercises and saw a chiropractor about it once.

This. I think it's generally not a big deal what position baby is in until 34 weeks. You and LO have LOTS of time

36 weeks is a little late to start measures. I would start spinning babies between 32-24 weeks since they will have more room to flip at that point and add in other methods as you see fit.

Good to know Yes

My DD flipped at 39 weeks. Be proactive (do the spinning baby exercises, etc) and don't lose hope!!

DD2 was like that from 23wks till 3 days before she was born (at 42wks), then she turned head down. Don't give up!

Your LO still has plenty of time to flip! My LO was still breech at 34 weeks and realistically, there was still time but I was very concerned. I went into the chiropractor for the Webster technique and acupuncture and by our next u/s 2 weeks later, LO is in position and has dropped. If I were you, I wouldn't worry right now. GL!
