Hi Guys

Had a MW appointment yesterday afternoon (I'm just over 31 weeks) and they tried to find out what position little man was lying in.

So far to date I've had 3 scans (because I'm part of a study at the hospital so I get a few more than most) and the last one I had was at 26 weeks.

He's been head down for each scan, but his head is very very low in my pelvis, so much so that last time they couldn't even get his head measurement 'cos my pelvis bone was in the way.

We found a bit bump yesterday just under my ribs which my MW assumed was his head, but I'm not so sure.

Wouldn't I have felt him turn head to toe now he's getting quite big??

My next scan is on the 18th December so if he's still head down then then would he be likely to change position betweeen then and my due date at the end of January?

Has anyone had a breech position baby and actually given birth that way??
 
Hi I had the same last week, they could not find the head so they sent me for a scan so they could move baby if breach. But the head was so far down. be warned they push real hard on your pubic bone to find it on the scan, but with mine its so far down if I go to the loo I can feel the head just there. But at least you get to see your baby again before its born
 
Thanks for that Cab - gut instinct is telling me that he's still head down and they just couldn't feel the head!

Only two weeks til I find out!

I've heard that they can turn at the very last minute if they really wanted to.

I did, and my mum ended up having a c section.

Lynsey, who gave birth on Monday at 34 weeks, her little boy was breech and he turned literally JUST before she was about to deliver!!
