Whose kiddo is still breech?

amroke · April 2014

And if baby stays put, are you opting to try ECV, or straight to planned c section? Or vaginal breech delivery?

amroke · April 2014

FWIW, I'm planning to do a planned c section if she stays put.

I'm still breech. Will find out tomorrow when I have my ultrasound. Definitely am not allowing my Dr to do an ECV. I'll wait it out and see what happens. The risks are not worth it to me.

Still breech here too at 37 weeks on Thursday! I will go for the c section. What have your doctors recommended? Anyone try the moxibustion sticks?

Still alternating between transverse & some other position @ 33 weeks. Starting to get a little concerned, as I hear it gets more difficult for baby to get properly situated after 34 weeks or so. I'm hoping the unknown mystery position is head down, it certainly feels like that on the 'ol bladder.

35 weeks and breech here. Have tried it all. Ice packs, lights, music, 2x week chiro, moxibustion, tilts and inversions etc. No luck. ECv scares me and is risky IMO as is vaginal breech. I had two others vaginally but they were very big so I will get a c/s at 40 weeks most likely.

I'm 33 weeks and lo just went from transverse to frank breech. I'm so upset. I don't think I want my dr to try a version and I don't want to try to deliver breech (I don't even know if that is an option) if it comes down to it it'll be a cs.

So today I am starting to try everything I can; inversions, tilts, ice and heat packs, I'll try to get in for an acupuncture treatment this week. They are taking him out at 37 weeks because of my history, so I really feel like I dont have much time.

Me. Still. I have been doing spinning babies for 1 month including pool handstands since I swim. I just had my second chiropractor appt and I also Do moxabustion on my pinkie toes (he has these sticky ones) I am NOT happy about this as I have been planning a natural childbirth and the thought of having no choice in a section is depressing especially as I would totally do a breech vaginally birth as she is frank but no one does them here

so yes if by 37 weeks (which is the date my ob said they start to care) she is still like this I will schedule a ECV if they let me and I feel confident in the doctor who would do it. I have an anterior placenta so not sure if they will. Regardless they want to induce me around 39 weeks for my high risk issues so that's my timeline. My ob and MFM says she still has plenty of time and she has plenty of fluid and space to flip but she has been breech since our 18 week scan (I had them Monthly and now weekly) so I am really anxious about the whole thing.

My little guy is not in position yet but I'm only 32 weeks. Dr. says she doesn't have any concerns. She said at my 36week ultra sound is when we will discuss moving him into position if he still sideways.

starskristen79 · April 2014

My baby is flipping at least once a week these days, just like my first, who did a final flip out of breech at 38 weeks with acupuncture and moxibustuon.

My little guy is breech.

Scared of all three options as my first delivery was natural and a piece of cake.
Not sure what I'll do...

danabsd · April 2014

We're sitting transverse. Going to the back to the chiropractor on Friday to try and get this LO spinnin'. Last I saw my OB she wasn't concerned about positioning yet so we haven't talked extraction methods. We likely will at my 34 week appt.

Baby A is still breech - she is blocking the exit. Because I have twins, if she stays breech then I have no choice but a c-section.

Lunatygercat · April 2014

Still breech. She's been this way the whole time. Hanging out low against the cervix. I find out Thursday at my 36 week if I am going to be scheduled for a C. Sigh....oh well. She's stubborn just like me.

Sam0905 · April 2014

My little guy is still breech and I'm 34 weeks. I have a little bit of a shorter timeline for him to turn since I have pre-e and will be induced at 37 weeks. So for now the plan is to do lots of inversion exercises, moxibustion (I should get the sticks in the mail tomorrow!), playing music near my pelvis, and maybe seeing a chiropractor. If he doesn't turn by 36 weeks I will attempt an ECV. The risks are actually pretty low and I trust my care team. I'll do whatever it takes to avoid a c section! But if it comes down to it, that's what we'll do - I don't think it's an option for me to attempt a vaginal breech birth.

lavendergiraffes · April 2014

Not breech but I had a friend who delivered last year - baby was breech and turned when they got to the hospital. She was ready so she turned! She was sunny side up but still. You never know, baby could just be waiting for the right time! :-)

sthomas1222 · April 2014

Old MW said breech but I think she was wrong. (4D u/s between my last 2 appts with her showed vertex). If baby is breech will attempt a version since the small risk outweighs the risks of a c/s for me. Thankfully I'm also at a hospital that still does breech deliveries so as long as that is an option for me I will still be vaginal delivery if all goes well. If something makes me not a candidate (ie transverse breech) then I'll just wait til I go into labor and head in to see if baby bothered to turn then labor as long as they'll allow before consenting to a c/s. Babies turn late and even during labor so I'm in no hurry to choose his eviction date.

I'm 34 weeks and my little guy has been head down for my last two appts, but I think he moves to other positions and goes back to head down. Either way, my dr is not concerned at all. She said this is normal at this point and I thought the same thing. At 34 weeks they still have time to get stuck in the head down position.

amandajb1 · April 2014

Were still breech, I have a version scheduled for Monday, Ill be 37.4 I had an ECV with my first and it was very smoothly, I couldnt imagine not trying it! I am hopeful it will work this time, I REALLY REALLY REALLY dont want a c-section.

cmitch01 · April 2014

I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow and He's been breech since at least week 28. I have a c section scheduled on 4/24! I elected no ecv.

Dplusbsquared · April 2014

My LO is quite large and as a result I have way too much fluid. He flips 2-3 times a week. It hurts tremendously when he does. I do wish he'd pick vertex and quit trying to tear me open!! I'm having a RCS so it doesn't ultimately matter, but breech seriously hurts me.
