[♥Heaven Sent♥]

Hi there,
Had my u/s yesterday i am 18 1/2 weeks and bub is breech presesntaion.I was wondering is this normal and do they usually change position before birth or will i end up having to get a c section.Any advice and stories will be much appreciated.;)

Absolutely normal. They are all over the place till the last months of pregnancy, so put your mind at rest, this is perfectly normal :)

Hi, Olivia was breech at my 38 week check up but my OB didn't even bring up the possibility of a c/s, he said she may still turn & that he would give us right up to the day to see & sure enough when I went in for my nect check up she had turned & was now engaged. I didn't think that there would be room but somehow she managed it, I was surprised that I hadn't noticed that she had now dropped. Oh & by the way I went on to have an emergency c/s as I failed to dilate but not because Liv wasn't doing her part. So I wouldn't worry just yet, you've got plenty of time.
Good luck.

I don't think wither of my babies spent ANY signficant amount of time right way up until at least the 36 week mark. They only really turned in the last 2 - 4 weeks. I could always tell which way up they were once we got to about 30 weeks. When they started to run out of rrom, I could tell which end had the feet :eek:

Cheers and I'm sure it will be just fine

My chiropractor specialises in babies, pregnant mums and turning breech babies, so if you're really worried as time goes on there are options for you if you wish to intervene.

Just my story........... My ds was in breech presentation from quite early too (can't remember exactly how early) and he never turned - not towards the end - not ever!!! It wasn't till much later in the pregnancy that I was informed that it would be ulikely for him to turn as he had been upside down all along and had not moved. However, bubs fluid was also a little low, giving him less room to move.
Anyway, your little bub will probably move a hundred times betwen now and then so I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. My advice is to ask, ask, ask at every visit about it - then if it turn out bub is a determined one you have the opportunity and time to try differetn methods of turning bub if you want or at least to prepeare yourself for the possibility of a ceasar. Everything came a sa shock to me at 37 weeks as no one tolsd me till then there was little chance of him moveing.......grrrr! At least this time around, I'll know what questions to ask!!!

Good Luck.......sorry for the ramble!!

Hi Jac,
Jordan was breech until about 32 weeks then he just turned, i remember feeling him turn. So there is still pleanty of time for him to turn. I Can also give you another story of my best friends stubborn little boy lol who was breech from day 1 they tried to turn him twice but he just flipped right back guess he just liked it that way, anyway she ended up having him 3 weeks early :) :) , so it may not be too bad if he doesn't turn you may get to met him a little bit earlier. In saying that he will prob turn most do. :)
