Breech baby, did they flip ??

33w4d, baby is breech. I plan on going to chiro and doing the exercise at home to try to flip her, I had a vaginal birth w my son and obviously would like one this time. Please share your experiences...Chat Icon

Re: Breech baby, did they flip ??

Both of my kids were breech (bad sense of direction I guess!). After a lot of research, more-so with my first, we scheduled the c-section and chose not to try and flip the baby.

ETA: Neither of them ended up flipping.

My DD was breech at my 37 week appointment. They wanted me to go in for a version 3 days later. She was born the day after my appointment via C-section.

My baby was breech at 31weeks and flipped by 33 weeks. But they still wanted to check again at 36 weeks. There is still plenty of time for your LO to flip. I think the chiro and exercises are a good idea. There was a story of a successful version on here recently. I would be trying that if baby didn't flip or had flipped back again.

dc#2 was transverse until about 34-35 weeks. I did the mini handstand off the couch a few times, tried the flashlight and ice packs on my stomach. I went back and I have no idea if any of that actually did the trick but he flipped and was head down by 36 weeks.

yes, DS was transverse until 36w then flipped. But, my fluid was high until the end which made it easier for him to move.

nope and I didn't want her to.
LOL like she read my mind, she was ALWAYS breech at every visit. She moved around with tons of fluid, but didn't like to 'line up' they had me scheduled for C/S and the day of my 37w (3day) visit she was still breech. That night my water leaked and they STILL checked her for flipping when I got there and before they started at least twice maybe more. They REALLY wanted her to flip. Me? not so much. LOL She was breech the entire time!

Mine didnt flip. I tired the version and the exercises. But I think she just didn't have enough room in there to flip. I ended up having a schedule c/s which I was very upset about at the time because I had wanted a natural birth. But, in the end all that really matters is that she came out healthy and safe. Good luck. You still have time for the baby to possibly flip. 33 weeks is still early.

Re: Breech baby, did they flip ??

Neither of mine did. DS#1 I only found out he was breech the day before he was born (had asked them to check the weeks before and the doctor did an internal and said he was in position – but must have felt his bony a$$ and thought it was his head.Chat Icon )
That night my water broke and I had a c section the next morning.

DS#2 I knew had turned breech by around 30 weeks. I hoped he’d flip back – saw a chiropractor from about week 34-35 on. I tried headstands in the pool, lots of positions from the spinningbabies website. At 39 weeks I tried a version and while the doctor flipped him, he turned right back. Must be the way I’m angled in there or something, that it’s just more comfortable for them. So, a second c-section for me.

I think you’ve got plenty of time to turn and since you’ve had one fit in correctly, I’d think you have a good chance for #2.
Good Luck!Chat Icon

DS never flipped. I delivered him through emergency c-section (went into labor before my planned cs) and it was discovered the cord was wrapped around his neck 3 times. He never would have flipped on his own, and trying to manually flip him would have been too dangerous.

Breech baby, did they flip ??

At 37 weeks DD#2 was still breech so I had a version done which was successful! I gave birth to her vaginallly at 40 weeks.

I also had an easy vaginal birth with my first baby and wanted to do the same the second time. I was happy I was able to.

I posted my success story very recently, you can look under my name if you want to read it

DS was "frank breech" at 37 weeks. By 38 weeks he flipped on his own. It happened overnight. I totally felt it too. Chat Icon

My son was born on his EDD at 9lbs 14oz and 22.5inches (just to give you and idea of his size) he was breech at 34 weeks. But by 37 or 38 he was no longer breech. I aways say, if a kid his size can flip....any kid can! Chat Icon

My daughter was found to be breech at 34 weeks. From the moment I found out, I did just about every single possibly helpful thing I could do to encourage her to flip. I was already doing prenatal yoga, so my teacher worked really hard with me on all different positiono and stuff to do at home. I don't know what the most helpful thing was, but by 36 weeks, she was head down again and I went on to have a perfect vaginal delivery.
