Anyone else’s baby breech at 20 weeks? Hoping to flip baby over for my rescan in two weeks. Any suggestions?

Mine was at my anomaly scan. It’s nothing to worry about, there’s so much time left for them to turn around for when it really matters! It’s likely that your baby is in all kinds of different positions all day long, and they just happened to catch them on a breech day!
Sometimes cold drinks, sugary foods or doing a bit of jumping/wiggling around can help. I’ve had to do one or all of those at most of my scans.
My first son was transverse at a midwife appt around 32 weeks and even then they weren’t at all concerned. He moved head down by 35 weeks.

Yep mine was too, can I ask why they said you need a rescan? I was expecting one but then they never said I needed to.

baby was very active so not every measurement were achieved , baby was also upside down which made it even harder to get measurements on the heart

Yeah my baby was breech at 20 weeks but i havent had a rescan my next one is at 32 weeks due to me having a low lying placenta xx

Honestly it’s far too early to worry about your babies position. They have so much room they will be in all shapes until much later.

It’s so early to worry, my last baby was transverse until after 30 weeks but he turned on his own. They’ve still got loads of space to move. Xx

I had the same at my 20 weeks scan, they could see everything apart from his spine as he was laying on it. Re booked for 2 weeks later and was told to drink a full fat coke and eat a mars bar on the way to hospital!!! Did the trick as he was wriggling non stop and they could get the view they needed :)

Mine has been breach the whole time and I’m 22 weeks! Had scans at 6,12,16 & 20 weeks! Breach every scan so they’ve said as long as they turn by 36 weeks you will be fine! Xxx

I was breach, had a rescan 10 days later, baby had turned around again :)
