Question about breech at 36 weeks
in GP Moms
Hey y'all! How have you been? Just had an appointment, and baby cinco is breech. Booty down, hands and legs on the right, body in a hammock on the left and head up in my diaphragm. We obviously have some medical options were discussing, and I googled some ideas, but I was wondering if any of you successfully flipped your baby and if so what methods did you try?
I'm 1.5 cm dilated and 50% effaced so I need to get her flipped ASAP to ease my anxiety
TIA!

My sister in law has had two breech pregnancies. The first she did spinning babies & chiro but eventually had a successful external version (I think that is what it's called) with an OB at the hospital under u/s. This one she was set up to have moxabustion (smoke therapy at the feet or something) as a first try but baby just flipped himself at 36 weeks.
Good luck!

I tried the spinning babies techniques but it didn't work for me :-(
I had a scheduled c/s but DS came on his own at 39 weeks, so I had the c/s then. :-)

Thanks for all your t&p. Just hoping she gets in head down ready to go position on Thursday and I can quit worrying.

I found that it was "nice" to know ahead of time I was having a c/s. I kind of mourned the loss of the birth I wanted and came to terms with the reality of the c/s (I was upset for about two weeks). So I knew what to expect.
The c/s itself went fine.
I think we are women/pg women put a lot of emphasis on the birth experience. While I think birth is special, honestly I think it is not more special than pregnancy or breast feeding or watching your child learn to crawl, walk, talk...
Anyway, I think it is an advantage to know you are having a c/s ahead of time. I still have fond memories of my c/s when my DS first came in to the world.
Try not to stress too much, it will be good.

I had a high risk pg (so pg wasn't the fun/carefree time I would have wanted).
I think it's tough when we have a harder time than we imagined we might.
As for the c/s, it went really quick. About 45 min total. The first 25 getting him out. Then DH held him by my head and we sang him happy birthday. They took maybe 20 min to stitch me up. Dh held him by my head the whole time. Then I was wheeled back to my room, dh carried ds and we did skin to skin regularly from then on.
I tried really hard to let go of how I wanted or imagined being pg/giving birth would be and focused on the goal: healthy baby and a healthy mom. I would just repeat that as the goal. I decided that was the most important and how we got there was something I was just going to have to let go of.
Let yourself have a few good cries.
Honestly, I came to terms with the fact I was goin to have a c/s ahead of time and I am thankful. Friends and others who tell me about how they were in labor, had to have a c/s and then they are boding with the baby while being sad about the c/s (I think) have a harder time.
By the time DS was here, I was over it and moved on to just the bonding/taking care or him part. I didn't really give the c/s any more emotional energy, which was nice.
Healthy baby, healthy mom. That's the goal :-)
