breech baby

OK so I was just in the hospital a few days ago and the morning I got released my doctor told me that he is going to induce me on Monday... needless to say I got really excited to be able to see my son. Anyways at my doctors appointment yesterday they said he is beech so when I called my doctor he said we might have to do a c-section... I would do anything to make sure he is safe but I really really really don't want to get a c-section. So I guess my question is does anyone know if there is anything I can do to get my son to flip? I asked my doctor but he said no but I've heard before that there is, does anyone know? Also I'm kinda scared that he has already flipped and someone gives me some tricks to use to get him to flip and then he flips back to being breech lol I guess I'm just scared in general of the whole situation. Anyways if you have any advise that would be great.

Re: breech baby

  • Check out spinningbabies.com and/or look into a chiropractor who practices the Webster technique. Some docs will also try manual flipping but if your doc isn't willing to there might be a reason (I'd ask the doctor just to clarify).

  • Good luck on your induction/c-section on Monday. I don't have anything new to add about flipping the baby, though. It's been addressed by multiple threads.

  • If your baby flipped between Monday and yesterday, they should still have room to flip again. Not sure why you are getting induced, but maybe ask your Dr about if it would be possibly to wait a few more days for the CS so your LO has a little longer to flip again.

  • My LO is also breech, my OB mentioned a scheduling a c section if he doesn't flip in the next 2 weeks, but I wouldn't have the c section till 39 weeks.

  • If baby only recently flipped there is a pretty good chance he will flip again before He's due, Google external cephalic version, for more info though.
  • I was told to help move baby toward the 'canal', to use a yoga ball and roll your hips slowly around. It works for me anytime my baby decides to flip (:
  • Thank you for all the helpful information ladies. I will definitely check out that website.. and sorry I forgot about the search function just kinda scatter brained right now
