Breech babies

[Flame]

Mine is still breech and has been for as long as we have been able to tell.

Was anyone elses breech until the last minute or will he stay breech?

There still plenty of time for it to move yet. My first was transverse till about 32 weeks and nothing really was mentioned about it. I think its 34 or 36 weeks they expect baby to go head down.

Thea was still breech at your stage too hun. She turned on her own at about 30 weeks and i had no idea she had lol

My baby was breech all the way through and turned at 34 weeks (in fact, 2 days before he made his surprise entrance - 6 weeks early! ) I was told to spend 15 minutes a day on all fours and this seemed to work!

Nathan was still breech at 30 weeks but at my 32 week appointment the midwife said he had turned and was head down so your baby still has time to turn

I had a consultant appointment yesterday because my baby been breech since about 26 weeks. It was still breech last thurs but is definitely head down now! I think it turned a few days ago, I had a really uncomfortable night. So would have been just over 35 weeks.

My midwife didn't get concerned about baby being breech until my last appointment (at 35 weeks).

I tried various techniques to get baby to turn but I don't think it makes much difference in the long run!

my baby was breech all through my pregnancy apart from 10 days at about 31 weeks but he turned back again. i tired everything to turn him but decided against an ecv because i decided he must be happier breech than head down and was worried i wud couse him stress if i turned him. i ended up with a c section. although i dont regret my decision not to have an ecv i do feel like i missed out on the birth experience and i think its the main reason i couldnt breast feed as i found it hard to get in a good posistion and the birth was quite hard my LO as his head was wedged in my ribs...this is just my experience but i just wanted you to know if it does come down to ecv or c-section only you can make the decision, dont listen to anyone else cos its only you and your baby who have to go through it! i followed my gut instinct and do think i did the right thing for us. hopefully he will turn!!
