Breech baby still!!

[Buttons8]

oh shit my ticker is on 2nd last picture!!!!
Time i started on those tricks.

I dont agree with your OH, I dont think you should spend your pregnancy 'preparing' yourself for a worst case scenario. Thinking positive is very powerful and I do believe Henry Ford when he said; "whether you think you can, or think you cant, you're right"...its like my moto for life!!

Pip is still very much breech today too. Mw today said nit to worry as on the next few weeks the head gets bigger and heavier and this with gravity often helps them shift

Well we have like 3weeks for baby to turn as at 36weeks they start booking c sections if baby isnt turned. Lets think positive lol
apparently visualising the baby turning head down is meant to help but i havent got a clue how baby could turn at this point anyway so i cant really do that :/ x

 

[Rowesb]

with the way my belly moves when Pip shifts it has to be possible, don't forget that they are not in a solid room, so even if getting a bit cramped they still have plenty of streching and turning space (although Pip has to wake up first!)

 

[becks20]

I dont get much movement and even when he does move i havent got much room left for him, my skin just goes tight. Doesnt help that i keep getting pains lower down as if hes engaging his bum x

My baby also breech at 33 weeks.

Have heard that acupuncture can be good for turning babies?

Has anyone heard/read much about this?

Think too early now perhaps but if baby not turned by 36 weeks I might give it a go...

This website says a bit about it:

[becks20]

i just read that site and those are the things i have been trying, i dont want to try acupunture. it also says that some babys just wont turn due to other reasons. Just think im going to stick to the rocking, ball, peas and OH talking and light lol x

Just wondering how you know your baby is still breech?

When my baby went from head-down to breech at 32 weeks, it felt really uncomfortable - like nothing I have ever felt before.

Since them I have been doing exercises etc for breech but am wondering whether the baby could have turned head-down without me knowing? I'm not sure if I'll know which way he is?

A couple of days ago I felt something very hard under my ribs (suspiciously like a head) and have been getting kicking quite high on my right side. Today I'm feeling movement very low down...

Am confused Wish I didn't have to wait another 12 days before my next check-up.

I no my sons breech because i used to get terrible tummy pains after eating, i couldnt move or anything. and when i went for my 4d scan at 28weeks they said babys breech, since then my midwifes been checking at my last 2 appts and his head is at the top of my tummy, when i lay flat i can see it stick out and i can put my hands either side of it and push gently with each hand 1 after other and feel it like a ball. i also get kicks quite high because my sons feet go up infront of his face and his arms he rests over his shoulders and i think 1 of his feet are down low as i also get movement down there. My babys really easy to feel as the midwife keeps telling me so i can work out where his head is by feeling or laying on my back.

And once he turns at the size the babys are around this stage we will feel it when they turn.

By laying with your bum higher then your head for atleast an hour a day but split into intervals helps to give baby space to turn. Im going to be sleeping on my back with a few pillows under my bum from now on lol x

 

[Rowesb]

I can't sleep on my back anymore...

not thought of the pillows under the bum

 

[becks20]

i feel more comfy on my back then i do on my sides and i no its not good to lay on your back but if its the only way i get comfy and babys moving then cant see the problem x

^^^ midwife at antenatal told us theyve done more research and found thats its fine to sleep on your back, just if a pregnant woman is unconscious she cant stay on her back. If youre conscious, even asleep, you will instincitvely move if your baby is squashing anything important. So stupid how many pregnant women have been sleeping badly cos some 'expert' came up with this advice!!

 

[becks20]

Oooh, they say it makes you feel dizzy but it only does that to me if i lay flat but even when i wasnt pregnant i couldnt lie flat ie without a pillow under my head. Iv kinda relaxed abit now about baby if hes going to move then he will if hes not then hes not i cant change it no matter how much i rock back and forth lol i do believe he moved when i first started my excercises but he ended up back where he is. Gonna wait till i see midwife thursday and see what she suggests as iv stressed myself enough and i dont think another 7 weeks of it is gonna be any good :/ x

 

[Rowesb]

sounds a good plan Becks, it is just hard not too sometimes...

I find it hard to lay on my left side too, I used to get horrendus cramps if I did for too long, so figures that I was best off stopping on my right side and as you say tiny, if anything is getting squished we have responses to make us shift...

Sorry to hear your so worried. I really hope your baby turns for you, but if not, i bet c section wont be as bad as you think.

My baby is oblique and has been for about 2 months now so a c sec is very likely for me too. I have a feeling its what i will be having and have prepared my self so thoroughly over the last few weeks (i have a week left before i will be booked in for one) that i will be more shocked if im told il be having a natural birth.

They have told me if it is a c sec then she will be here a week earlier (28th july ish) so thats one plus point? plus no vagina wear and tear, cuts or slashes lol! ermmm also apparently c sec is one of the safest and quickest ways to give birth. sorry if this sint helping, these are just what i thought of as plus points to prepare me and helped a little xx

Thanks lol. Iv been told by my HV that a csection wouldnt be right for me for a few reasons, i have a daughter to get dressed and look after, ill have to walk to the school pushing buggy up kerbs, ill have to carry a pushchair up and down stairs 4times a day and i wont beable to drive for 6weeks. This would all be ok for 2 weeks but after that i wont have any help (plus after 2weeks would be when i would start all of the walking to the school etc) as my family live so far away and people i no here work all day so its kinda gonna leave me housebound for 6weeks and i can see my depression coming back if i have to have one. so HV told me to see if they can turn him manually before they book me in for a section x

 

[*Hope*]

Ok your situation would be much harder then. fingers crossed!

 

[becks20]

Thanks just keep thinking hes got 3weeks to turn before panicing should be done and maybe 5weeks till they would book me in so im happy for now lol x
