Baby B flipped at 36 weeks!

Just wanted to let everyone know that it IS possible! I'm having a C-section no matter what, but I know so many MoMs are concerned if they have time for flipping in the later weeks in hopes of having a vaginal birth. My Baby A had been breech and Baby B had been vertex, since 24 weeks or earlier- a LONG time in the same positions! Then I went to my NST and found out Baby B flipped and is now breech! So I have 2 breech babies. I have felt so much movement and rolling that maybe that explains it! I just didn't think it would change this late, and I also have big babies- last measurement one was almost 6 lbs and one was 6 1/2. The NST nurse said it meant that my fluid levels are good because otherwise Baby B couldn't have turned. That's good news! They seem to not fit as well this way, they seem to jostle more for space and their heads are so close together! Just thought I would share that it can happen out of nowhere...

    Haha.  My baby B flipped at 38 weeks.  I had to have a C-secton, because Baby A was snuggled feet first since day one.  I remember that on the TUES before my C-secton, baby B was breech as well, but the docs said when they pulled him out on FRI, he was head first.

    My Baby B kept flipping up until (and during!) my scheduled induction at 37w6d. It's crazy how they can find the room to move in there!

    This gives me hope!  Both have been head down but at my 25 week MFM appointment both had turned to breech.  I hope they switch back.

    My A stayed breech from 30 weeks on, but B flipped every time we checked (which was twice or more per week at the end). He even flipped the day of my C section at 38 weeks 4 days :) Little stinker.

    My Baby A was breech from early on. She chose her spot and she wasn't budging. My Baby B kept switching from breech to transverse. I delivered at 37w2d and when they pulled him out, he had apparently flipped to vertex. It is definitely possible for them to still flip.

    My B turned from transverse to head down at 36 weeks, we cancelled our c-section and were induced at 37.  Hoping your delivery goes well!

    good to know.  Right now Baby A is vertex but Baby B is transverse (but was originally vertex).  As long as Baby A stays vertex, I will try for a vaginal delivery.

    That's good to know there's hope for me too! 

    flgator - mine are in the same positions but I will do a C/S if they stay that way (both need to be head down for me to do vaginal with my docs).  I'm hoping B will learn how to flip!
