Baby turned :(

Went to the doctor n Friday and baby has turned :( she is no longer head down she is oblong now wich means she is diagnol. It's sooooooo close to my time i don't want to have a c section so i am praying and talking to my little angel hoping she will turn for me.

OMGosh my baby is breech too but alas as she's my 4th ive been told my uterus is soo stretched she might just prefer to stay breech! ive never had this before my first born..my DS was transverse for like a week towards the end but then righted himself, so to have this now im actually deavastated...and so frightened of having a c sec. for 1st babies tho its right they do turn last minute, but here's some tips ive been told to bounce for an hour on my birthing ball, walk, crawl for 10 mins on my hands and knees and sleep or lie for a while on my left hand side all things which supposedly help and encourage baby to go head down..apparently as the head is the heaviest part it should naturally want to go south...wether these things work....i'll keep you posted but i suppose its worth a try after all we're all just waiting for our babies now...its not like we have much else to do right? LOL

spiritwols31 wow slip of the tongue or your subconcious telling you its not long now..........spooky........

Comment correction***

The part where I said "When I had to go to hospital for delivery" I meant to say..."When I had to go to the hospital for monitoring".

I re-read it and was like.."what was I thinking"...LOL!

What a bummer!! I have faith that your little one will turn soon and be in the right position. It can happen even at the last second.

Lol...everytime I go to the doc my lil man is either completely breach or sideways. When I had to go to hospital for delivery he was breach and the nurse said it felt like he had his feet planted on each side of my pelvis and was in the position like saying, "nu uh I aint coming out!!"

She also said they turn all the time all the way up to labor. It gets harder for them to turn cuz they run out of room but they do especially if they got the extra room to move!

just passing along what my doctor has told me: babies can turn into proper birthing position as close to delivery as during active labor.. don't worry, there is still plenty of time for her to become head down :)

Oh no! I went to the Doctor on the 20th and baby was heads down and with the pelvic pain I have been having I think he is laying pretty low. Hopefully your baby will turn around just in time!

That is such a bummer :(  Hopefully she still has enough time to turn back head down before it's time to go.  I'll say a prayer for you that she cooperates and does what mommy wants!!
