hey guys i know i haven't been on in like forever but i was just wandering if any of you have/have had a breech baby. lucian isn't breech that i know of but i swear last night he was turned completely sideways and it was so uncomfortable and hurt really bad. i couldn't sleep until he finally turned. ↓

How many weeks are you? Some babies are breech right up until the end of pregnancy, then they turn by themselves. Sometimes the doctors can turn them. ↑ |
hi sterlids...well my son was bron via c-section because he was breech and also because i was low on amniotic fluid...but what was your question im sorry, LOL. Are you asking if it's uncomfortable or ???
Anyway, to me it was totally cool, i never had any sorts of pain thoroughout my pregnancy, no back pain, nothing. he was pretty small, maybe that's why. But ask me ask me...i'll let you know. ↑ |
Sterlids, I have had 4 cousins pregnant and all have given birth here in 2006, well the last one, her baby girl was breeched the doctor turned her and they schedule a normal delivery, then she turned again and to say the least they had to do a C section. The little one turned and they had no choice but do it that way.. ↑ |
i am 32.5 weeks. i just don't want him to be breech coz i really don't want a c-section. i was just asking if anyone had been through this and what the end result was. i think he is back to his normal head down position now. it was just really painful and i hope he doesn't turn. ↑ |
I had the exact same problem last night. I asked my ob at my last visit and she said that a baby could stay breech right up til delivery. I dont have any previous experience with this but at least you know youre not alone. ↑ |
He still has time to turn but yes my kenzie was breech and refused to turn. she sat straight up and down indian style for the last 3 months! ↑ |
Hi. I just had my little guy on the 12th. I was induced and then ended up having a c section because I didn;t progress, but the reason I was induced (he was head down at the time...otherwise it would be a c section) was because he kept on flipping. He would be breech one moment, and head down the next. You don't have to worry about a breech baby until 36 or 37 weeks. A c section is usually a last resort. They turned my little one 3 times before they decided to just get him out. ↑ |
thanks guys, i believe little man has been transverse all day. got another question, doesn't it hurt when they turn the baby? ↑ |
oh and does anyone have any other remedies to get him to move besides visulization and cat stretches? it is so umcomfortable and i hope he doesn't stay like this until the end. my mom said my brother did this for a few weeks near the end. ↑ |
Honestly, the doctors turning the baby was extremely painful for me. It got worse everytime they did it b/c the baby gets bigger. Mine was transverse too. That is why I was induced b/c with a transverse baby if your water breaks the cord could come first because there is no other presenting part. I am very glad that I ended up having a c section. I was very nervous, but I have recovered fairly well. After 6 days I no longer had any pain.
As for turning him yourself, there really isn't a real reason to right now. You are only 32 weeks and I wasn;t told to start until 35 weeks because the baby still flips around a lot...it's not all that big yet and still has lots of room to move. I laid with my hips elevated, was told to lay on my left side (that was the way he travelled) and apply a little pressure. You have to be sure that your baby is breech though, or you could harm him trying these excercises. I hope that some of this helps. ↑ |
thank you it does. and i won't be trying to make him move too much. all i really do is just gently on him when he is making me super uncomfortable. my next u/s is next tuesday and i know he can do many flips between now and then but hopefully he will be back to his comfy head down position. he has been head down at every u/s since 21 weeks. ↑ |
