Breech baby

Debsfurn · February 2014

Hi all, I'm 31 weeks now and baby is breech. Midwife doesn't think it will turn as I have a small pelvis and baby is comfty as it is. She will be sending me for a scan at 36 weeks. If I am still breech my options will be to have baby turned which she doesn't think will work as I have strong stomouch muscles or have an elected c section.. If this is the case when will they book me in? As I'm worried what If I go into labour?

You still have plenty of time for baby to turn! Check out spinningbabies.com and consider a chiro who is experienced in the Webster technique.

Honestly, I'd be a bit put off by such a negative attitude from a provider.

Yeah, it's really early to be worried about breech. I'm a little wth at your midwife.

I'm not liking your midwife..... Don't worry yet, baby has plenty if room and plenty if time.

She wasn't worried she was just telling me the possibilities. And my with my mum having to have 2 c sections with me an my brother because of the same reason it's a possibility. We will see when I hve a scan at 36 weeks. All I was wondering was if I am to be booked in for one do they do it on due date or before?

The responses are helpful to me as well as I am currently 36w3d and I had an u/s done yesterday that revealed LO is breech. I'm hoping to go all natural so an unplanned c-section would really put a damper on things. As long as my baby boy's healthy, I hope I can deliver vaginally!!!

I had the same problem, and in addition to what's been suggested already I would try moxibustion. My midwife suggested the treatment and it definitely helped my LO turn.

I think they will probably schedule you to come in between 39 &40 weeks if you end up needing a CS.

I had this happen. Dd2 was breech from day 1. We did external version it didn't work. It was done at 37.5 weeks. Awful. They scheduled c only because it's standard.
Lo decided to come when she wanted and right when I knew it was true labor I called. I went right in to hospital. I was paranoid she would start coming out.
My Ob did u/s to make sure she didn't flip before they prepped me. Nope same spot. They had a hard time getting her out. She was being strangled by her cord

poor kid.
