breech baby

sara76 · October 2011

Anyone else have experience with a breech baby at 30 weeks? I'm a little bummed but the Dr assured me that she still has time to flip. I have another sonogram at 36 weeks but in the meantime I guess I need to start accepting that I might not get a natural delivery afterall. Everything else looks great, good size, heart and brain, fluid, so I guess it is not the end all.

Lila flipped while I was in labor, luckily she flipped back b/c they were preparing me for an emergency c-section. She had meconium b/c of them screwing up my epi and instead giving me a spinal. (My delivery was a disaster). It is definitely possible for her to flip and this far along, you will most likely feel it when she does.

I was sure she was breech before they even told me because I can feel her head. I was hoping it was her butt, but I can tell it's her head and her feet are low because that's where all my kicks are. She's wiggling a lot lot lot these days and even though it's killing me I'm encouraging it so she will move. That's encouraging that your girl flipped at delivery, I hear it but I wanted to hear it first hand from someone.

I really hope she does work her way around for you so you can get the birth you are wanting, but in any case glad everything else looks perfect.

I can't believe you are 30 weeks already, time flies!

Kennedy was transverse until 32 weeks, then she flipped. Check out spinningbabies.com. I would also look into a Chiropractor trained in the Webster technique.

Great thanks!! I'll go check out the website now, I was wondering where to go to get exercises

My sister's baby was breech til 37 weeks. You have time.

There's plenty time to turn. DD2 was breech at my 32 week u/s but she flipped at 36 weeks. Like you, I was freaking out, too, as I didn't wanna have a c/s then have to deal with a toddler post-delivery.

There is still plenty of time for her to turn, but if she doesn't, look up moxibustion. I had a professor in college from the Phillippines and she told us it is a very common practice there and said it almost always works. Its a little out of the box, but hey, might be worth a shot.

Ava was breech, discovered at 36 weeks. She never flipped so I had a scheduled section with her. Jax was head-down but I'm a wuss and afraid of a vbac so I did a repeat section with him. I can attest that c-sections are not bad at all (at least they weren't for me).

I came out breech, but I don't think they let you do that anymore.

You definitely have time! I think I would concentrate less on how the LO gets here and think more about them being here, though.

I hope you get the natural birth you want, however.

Hmm I don't think that concern over a medical procedure is off the wall. I got a couple percentages thrown at me today that are new to me... 20% of pregnancies are breech at 30 weeks and my LO is in the 62nd percentile for size. I just want to make sure I continue to do what I can to make sure she gets here and everybody is healthy. But I hear ya, I think you mean concentrate on the good stuff and not worry about the things you can't control. I like it. Thanks for the encouragement ladies I'm just going to keep talking to her and see what we can do as a team.

I don't think you're off the wall. Having a natural birth was super important to me, and I was really worried about position too. My biggest fear about childbirth was the possibility that I would need a c-section. I know it's not a big deal for some people, but for me it was. Everyone is different, and there's always SOMETHING to worry about when you're pregnant. And for the record, that carries right on over to being a mom. I used to think it would get easier, when I could actually see her. Not so much. Wink

Thanks girl, and you are an amazing mother so that makes me feel much less crazy for being concerned It really is pretty important for me to have a natural birth, at least to labor. I just feel like I really want to experience that part of the transition. It won't be the end of the world if I have to schedule a c/s but I have to admit I would be slightly disappointed and feel like I'm missing out. Now I'm wondering if there is something I'm doing wrong. Am I bending too much? Am I sitting cross legged too much? Ahh, I can just imagine the worrying I will do when she gets here! lol!

Oh and thank you for getting when I said "off the wall". I was afraid I was dating myself a little too much there Wink

Yeah, that definitely was not meant to be snarky or whatever. I surely didn't say it was "off the wall." I just think, personally, that after it is all over you won't really care about how your LO got here, only that they are here, ya know? Like I said, you've got plenty of time for baby to flip and have the type of birth you want. Don't stress too much is all. Also, as far as size goes, they kept telling me that Bean was 8-9 pounds when I was in my third trimester. She was 6 pounds 10 ounces at birth. Just food for thought.

I went through all the "am I doing this? should I not be doing this?" stuff too. And I drove myself crazy for a few weeks. Then I went back in and the midwife was all "Oh wow, she's head down and a lot lower." I wanted to jump up and down screaming I was so excited. In the end, having a healthy baby is most important. And had something come up during labor that required a c-section, etc. I would have dealt with it, but in my mind, not even being able to try because she wasn't in position would have been a tough pill to swallow. For some people, the birth IS really important, I just happen to be one of them, so I can totally relate.
