Little Boy Breech!

[babyelmo]

Hi everyone, I was just wondering at what stage your babies went head down?

My little chap has been head down since 22 weeks. Last week I was laying down on the sofa and felt the most enormous movements, like he was spinning round. All evening his kicks were at the sides, I'm sure he'd gone transverse. By the morning he was vertical again but it just felt different somehow.

On Sunday we had a 4d scan (amazing! I'll post a pic!). They told us he was breech with his feet down! I saw my midwife yesterday who confirmed it. At the scan he is weighing 3lb already and measuring 30 weeks My midwife was honest and said there is no guarantee he will spin round again as he's getting bigger all the time and running out of space.

It sounds silly but i'm petrified at the thought of having a caesarean. I get myself in such a state when I have surgery because I find the whole idea frightening. My midwife suggested some kind of acupuncture candles and getting on all fours with my bum in the air to encourage him to turn!

Has anyone else had experience of this? My daughter went head down early and stayed like it so this is all new to me!!

My baby was also breech at our 4d scan at nearly 30 weeks. Just got back from my 34 weeks appt and she is head down but not yet engaged xx

Ooh that's given me hope, thank you!

My baby was breech until 34 weeks then he flipped.
The mw said to me its very common, and you should only worry if hes still breech at 36 weeks.
Even then, in most cases, they do 2 attempts at turning them by hand.
C-section is last resort.

My baby turned from head down to feet first at 39 weeks! So it can happen at any time and stage x

Thank you so much everyone. It seemed to be all doom and gloom at the midwife yesterday! Lets hope the little fella spins round again! He's certainly active so I now have hope!!

Hope he spins round for you and as for you rmeasurements my midwife said they allow 2 cms each way before they worry too much as at your next appointment he may not have grown so much happened to me at 26 weeks i was measuring 28 and then at 28 weeks i was still 28 and at 31 weeks im measuring 32 xxx
