Can babies engage bottom down?

[becks20]

As title says.... Over the last couple of days my baby has dropped and iv got ALOT of pressure on my bladder and its all hard lower down just above my pubic bone. But he's breech so he would be bottom dropping down/

Is it possible? He's showing no signs of turning its as if he's stuck there x

dont think they can engage bottom down as theyd need 2 get their little legs under ur pelvis 2. but dont know 4 defo assume its highly unlikely. they maybe able 2 drop lower breech tho. maybe make a wee apointment with midwife 4 a check up xxx

iv got midwife today but they just see that its ok hes breech till 36weeks and that he can turn daily but hes not even trying to turn hes been breech since before 28weeks but at 20weeks was head down. x

I wonder this too. At my 28 weeks check, baby was breech. at 34 weeks she couldn't tell but said whether it was head or bum, it was at the brim??!!!! Now I can feel baby getting lower and lower every day and just hope it's not his ass he's planning on presenting to the world!! Got a check on mon so will ask x

if they cant tell position they usually send you for a scan to see. iv been told to go on all fours for 10mins every night to try and get him to turn as baby dont seem to be budging she didnt tell me if he was lower down or not tho but hes 2weeks ahead in size x

they will turn him nearer ur due date if he hasnt budged i was born breech lol. i was smiling when i came out haha x

mine was breech every time until my checkup on monday when I was told he's now cephalic, think I felt him turn in bed the other night, my bump went mental!! Hope LO turns for you

I think they can engage bum first, my dad was born breech (bum out first). my poor nan lol

 

[evajo]

no advice here - but i suppose if they are born breech they must engage at some point!

 

[evie_smith]

^^ yea that's a point they must engage at some point lol!! I never throught of it that way but yea maybe they can engage bum first lol bless!! X

 

[becks20]

Thanks i thought it must be possible if they can be born breech but that wouldnt be an option for me as hes big. Just hope hes head down by my next appointment at 34weeks x

if ur lil uns flexed breeched u can still deliver him breech depends on which type of breech he is sometimes they dont let you give birth vaginally. Although back in the day my mum had me i was flexed breech as they didnt have scans back then and cudnt tell that i was breech but somehow she still manage to have me lol. hope ur lil un turns for you very soon hun x

somehow she still manage to have me lol

cos shes all woman doctors dont give us enough credit for what we're capable of, our bodies are designed to give birth!

my aunt was a breech as well and nan had no problems you still have quite a while b4 you need to panic so fingers crossed bubs behaves soon for you xx

 

[becks20]

Well because my daughter was head down the whole pregnancy and because the baby IS big midwife wants him turned by my 34weeks appt as if anything past that hes gonna have ALOT of trouble trying to turn because hes longer aswell.

Iv been doing my rocking on all fours and it seems to be helping he`s moved but i cant work out how hes positioned but im pretty sure hes still breech just moving over slowly as im gonna know about it when he does turn and im gonna have loads of stretch marks lol x

 

[evajo]

poor you - hope rocking and all fours does work for you x
