Intro and a question about breech twins turning

HawkeyeLove · January 2014

Hi! I have been lurking here since the beginning of pregnancy and am so grateful for all of the great knowledge I have gained from this group. I am 36 weeks today with di/di boys. I also have a son who just turned 2 in December and a daughter who will be 4 in a few weeks (yep...we will be very busy).

At my check-up yesterday both boys were breech and we scheduled a c-section for 38 weeks. I have been hoping for a vaginal delivery, but of course just want two healthy babies. A has been head down most of the pregnancy, but B has turned a couple of times. Is there any hope of both or at least A turning? How late in the game did your babies turn?

Thanks and happy Friday!

My doctor said it was unlikely after 35 weeks. My babies did not flip so I had the c-section, but maybe someone else has a more encouraging story.

My baby A turned breech at 19w and stayed that way. Baby B turned as late as 32w (from breech to vertex). I wanted a vag delivery also, but ended up w a c/s.

Thanks for responding! I am hoping to be one of the lucky ones, but know the odds are against me. :-)

Mine both flipped to head down between 35-36 weeks and I was able to deliver vaginally. GL!

Mine stayed transverse the entire pregnancy. I didn't even make it to my scheduled csection. Had them 10 days earlier than that at 35w5.

Mine were mainly transverse the entire time. At about 30 weeks baby A was head down for the 1st time, but during the u/s he flipped back to transverse. These were my first, and I had hoped for a vag delivery, but it wasn't in my cards. C-section was much easier than I had ever expected.
