If your baby was breech and turned...

NicoleWI · November 2012

Did you feel it turn? Could you tell it was turning and/or had turned? My baby is still breech and I'm wondering if I will know if he/she decides to turn. Stressed about possible version coming up in the next 10 days or so.

I was breech at 35 weeks and she turned. The dr was sure she would not move since she would be too big but she has flipped for the next two appts so I don't know what is going to happen at my 39 week appt.

I was told at 34 weeks that my baby was breeched. Well I had my first cervical check yesterday and was told she is now head down. I was told I would be able to feel her flip but I did not. I am now 36 weeks.

My little guy was breech and I am sure I felt him turn. I had a lot of pressure down low for a couple days and wasn't sure what was going on. The day after I felt great and when LO got the hiccups it was confirmed that he had moved positions. I think the pressure I felt was him turning and replacing a foot in my cervix with his head.

Hiccups are a great way to tell where his head is if you are unsure.

I was breech at 33 and 34 weeks. She just turned this week and boy, did it hurt!
It felt like a balloon was expanding inside of me, pinching feelings too.
it only lasted for about 15 minuets. And now she's head down and dropped quite a bit. I instantly felt a relief of pressure off my lungs!
I definitely knew when she was turning, not sure if other Mama's feel the same.

Goodluck!

At 36 1/2 weeks, I had a terrible terrible night sleeping. A lot of discomfort/pain in my upper abdomen. And some vomitting to follow. At my OB appt the next morning the dr. told me the baby had turned breech.

That day, I experienced some major baby movement and pressure all day long (crazy shaped belly, pain across top of abdomen, and more vomitting). A few days later I went for the ultrasound the doctor had ordered to confirm, and baby was back into head down position. The doctors were not entirely convinced the first doctor was right about the baby turning breech, but I was certain. I didn't feel all that pain and discomfort for just a few kicks. It felt as though I had done 2000 sit ups!

If your baby has been breech for a while, I'm not sure if you will feel the change or not. I hadn't known that was my discomfort while he went head up. But I definitely knew he was going back to head down. Good luck!

I assume you are doing all the exercise tricks to encourage the baby to change?

My baby just flipped to head down over the weekend and I could absolutely feel that she was turning. She had been predominantly feet down, head up. Then for a few days she had worked herself into a transverse position (I could just tell by the movements really) and then she flipped to head down. I guess I couldn't actually FEEL her moving as it happened, but I could feel what position she was in based on where I was feeling movement and that sort of thing.

She was breech till 36 weeks. I wouldnt say I felt when she flipped but she was moving A LOT the night before she did.

I have been breech this whole pregnancy until a week or two ago. I felt her somewhat moving, but then when I woke the next morning, I could tell that she was now transverse. Now I just need her to move the rest of the way!
