my baby was breech the whole time and nobody realised a day before my due date it was discovered and had to stay in hospital and wait incase my waters broke it was awfull three days after my due date i had a c section this could have been prevented if my caregiver had actualy realised it was my babys bum engaged not the head. make sure you get them to check.

I'm at 30 weeks and have been told that my little girl is lying sideways all scrunched up. BOTH times I've had ultrasounds, she's been in this position. I have previously delivered early around 37 weeks and I'm a little afraid she won't turn. Any thoughts or suggestions??? You can directly reply to my profile if you'd like. thanks

My son was butt first and really low at my 38 week appt and my OB said not to worry, that he still had time to turn around and that they would only do a C section if he was still butt down at 39 weeks when I got induced. He turned around sometime that week and I delivered vaginally just fine.

Hey ladyjaid sorry im a new member so sorry for the late reply to ur post :D With my first pregnancy my little girl was breech and i attempted ecv which was very painful and uncomfortable, didn't work and only has a 50% chance of working! My girl was bron via c-section at 39wks. Im now 38wks pregnant with my second who too is breech and has been since 23wks! Im scheduled for c-section nxt wednesday but this time i refused ecv. for reasons above... happyinclouds good luck with ur c-section as u can c im heading for my second. A buttoned nightdress is a good idea whether feeding or not they like ur child rto have skin to skin contact and will place her up ur nighty, a nightgown and slippers and don't worry about the pj pants hurting the incesion it didnt for me. I have bought 3 pairs of pj's and a pack of 7 BIG,HUGE black "granny" pants and lots of santry towels. You'll still bleed heavily even thought you havent had a vaginal birth... Basically pack everything you'd need for a 3dy stay in hosp for u and ur baby. My girl had a weak reflux which meant she brought up loads of her milk so i went thro LOADS of clothes and bibs but remember theres no need to overdo things in the bag because ur partner, family members or friends can bring u over things as u need them :) I always travel lightly :D :D

Hi all! I am 37 weeks today, i have a cerclage in place, it comes out tomorrow but the baby is breech now, he turned on Sunday.... Has anyone else run into this problem? I tried to call my specialist yesterday, but she didn't return my call. I am afraid of the manual version they may want to do, but hope they don't...did anyone else have to have that done? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks ladies!

So Im 27 weeks and this baby is breech and has been since 14 weeks...He never moves. He is always head up on the right side and I feel kicks in the lower region around my navel..My biggest concern with a c-section is the fact I devlop Horners syndrome and it could be a really bad thing. Im not supposed to have an epidural again-so what the ???? I have to be intabated and pout under so I am scared to death of the surgery becoming a reality!!

I’m almost to week 31 and (from the best I can tell) my little man is still head up! I go in on Monday for a checkup, I’m hoping to get an u/s so we can check his position. I am also a little worried because he stays on my right side. He ONLY ever moves on my left when I sleep on my left side. It’s like gravity pulls him down (over) there. the doc felt me last checkup and said he was just laying there hanging out. She didn’t seem concerned but I am starting to worry now that he is bigger that I should be feeling him throughout the entire area.

Well my little man has finally turned head down which doesnt really matter because I have to have another c section anyways lol. Him being head down is so much more comfortable for me anyways and I cant see how in the heck he would want to stay breech, looks uncomfortable. happyinclouds- You can buy a night gown with button down the front for breastfeeding, whatever is more comfortable for you. With my first son that is what I had, but with this one I have bought me some really big and comfy pants that will go up and over my belly and nice big ol granny panties lol They arent the sexiest panties in town but heck they do the job and they dont hurt. I will also bring big t shirts. So yea I will be up at the hospital looking like I'm goin to clean house lol but I will be comfy.

Sooo, i am 36 weeks preggo with a boy and on my last appointment we found out that he is breech. We did ultrasound and it confirmed that he is fully breech. We will be scheduling a date for csection soon. At first i was very emotional, but as time goes i feel at peace. Anyways, anyone in similar situation, what practical things you are doing to get ready for afterwards? Like i purchased night gown with front opening instead of pj pants as it might touch the incision, etc.

Well went to get my membranes stripped today and when the doc was up inside of me he said he felt a foot and not the head. So they sent me to U/S and sure enough my little girl has turned once again. Her head is under my heart and her feet and legs are in my pelvic area soooooooo i am now scheduled for a C section on the 17th. I am very excited and am OK with having a c section. I got to see my little one again and she has a full head of hair, it looked like it was in a mohawk LOL. They didnt tell me how big she should be but thats ok, only 6 more days for me and I get to hold my baby girl.

I'm 35 weeks and my little boy is breech. I have to have a c-section either way but I know I seemed more comfortable when my first son was in the head down postion. I dont know why they would want to stay breech it looks soooo very uncomfortable, in the u/s he has his hands,feet,legs and umbilicord all in his face...how is that pleasent lol.

Hi there, My sister and myself were both breech...I had my son in November and he wasn't breech! Just thought I was add my experience!

i was a breech baby,.....does that mean there is a possibility that my baby could be breech?

spencerbaby1 - 1143 days ago.
at 28 weeks my little girl was in a frank breech position. i think she is still breech now (33 weeks) because i can feel her head up in my ribs and all the movements are in my lower stomach and middle. i am having an u/s the first week of february to determine her final position then will be scheduled for a section if needed. i will be 38 weeks at my u/s so when would they schedule the section? for 39 weeks?

sweetp22 - 1144 days ago.
My little boy is breech too and his head is killing me under my right ribs! I also have a septum in my uterus so there is little or no chance he will turn himself around. He is stuck on my right side and I can see his cranium sticking out and his feel doing a step dance on my cervix... it just feels strange down there most times but sometimes it hurts so badly! Anyone else with a septate uterus and a breech baby?

Cissy- I just had my c-section at 39 weeks, last week. Most DR's won't have you wait until 40 because they don't want to chance you going into labor. Our daughter was frank breech although we thought that she was incomplete breech until delivery.

chanelle - 1175 days ago.
I do not think that they wait till the full 40 weeks just because you could go into labor and they normally do not want that. With me they did mine at almost 38 weeks when I tried to have my son moved to the head down position. Any time there is a c-section involved they make you go before or right at 39 weeks. At lest thats how its been for me and my friends who had sections.

cissy - 1178 days ago.
Does anyone know if your baby is still breech if they wait until 40 weeks to do a c-section or if they do it earlier?
