Is anyone else’s baby still sitting comfortably breech? Or has anyone managed to turn their baby at home?
I’m nearly 34 weeks and baby girl doesn’t seem to want to turn which is causing a lot of anxiety around birth - I’m unable to have an epidural due to health reasons so a csection isn’t as straightforward as it could be😩

Still breech for me at 35 weeks. I've heard from lots of people not to worry yet and baby will hopefully turn! I'm trying to just stick to a what will be will be attitude and as long as baby is happy and healthy were winning, even if this changes my ideal birth plan!

Had midwife today at 35+5 and baby is breech. I have a presentation scan to confirm on Thursday. I’ve spent the evening curb walking and bouncing on my ball and researching other ways to try and spin this baby 🙏🏼

My baby is still flipping from breech to head down. Had a scan 2 weeks ago - head down, midwife appointment last week head down but then a scan the day after and she was breech again. I’m 34 weeks on Friday. My first baby was consistently head down from 26 weeks so this is very new for me.

Baby was breech at my appointment last Monday, I spent the week bouncing on the ball and doing downward dog/ bridge pose intermittently throughout the week. Had to go in Sunday for pain and she is now head down. Don't know if it's worked or she did it on her own but just happy she's turned 😂

34+5 and baby is still breech as well. I don’t think she’s ever been head down 😅

Still breech for me at 35 weeks x

I had a scan last Thursday and baby was breech. She was head down a few days before, I don’t have an appointment now until the 18th where I will be 36 weeks a lot of things I’ve read have said no need to do anything until around 36 weeks as baby can turn, it does cause anxiety around birth but there is still
Time for the them to move, one thing i will say is that a midwife at the hospital told me not to use a ball 🙃 you get so many pieces of mixed information it makes things more difficult to understand x

Makes me feel less anxious the my LG isn’t the only one being stubborn! Fingers crossed they all turn in time 🤍

Mine has also been breech on almost every scan and doesn’t seem to want to shift! Going to try moxibustion treatment before my next scan at 36 weeks and see if that helps at all

been tempted to try this!!

my mum is a midwife and few of her colleagues suggested so thought I may as well 😂

can I ask, have you paid privately for this or do they offer it on the nhs?

paid privately!

I’ve been for a scan today at 36w and he’s still breech. I am booked in for a section at 39+2 but just worrying he’ll come before and quickly where il have to deliver naturally. I hope he will stay put for 3 more weeks as they won’t bring him earlier 😬

did they book you in at the scan? i didn’t realise they gave dates there and then!

No I requested it before as was under fetal medicine so only got my date last week
