breech @ 29 weeks!!!

Question

I just had a check up today and found out my baby still breech! My doctor told me not to worry about it but im still worried! Hopefully he does turn but if he doesn't, what other options are instead of c-section? Has anyone had this issue at 29Weeks or more?

Oh ok so basically he still has time to turn... Even up until delivery. Ok then i will try to remain calm until then because i really dont want to get cut. Thank ladies :)

My don't didn't turn until about 4 hours before he was born and I had.been in labor for a few hours already. Granted I did end up having a C-Section but it was because my baby was too big and my hip never spread and I never dilated. You have plenty of time don't worry!

My son was breech until he flipped on his own at 32 weeks.

The baby has plenty of time to turn. My first was breech at 38 weeks and I did the external version (turning the baby) and it honestly wasn't painful at all and I'm a huge baby when it comes to pain. It was also successful so maybe that is the reason? Anyways I think it depends on the doctor that does it and how experienced they are with the procedure.

I'm 29 weeks, and my baby is currently butt down (and causing me all kinds of pain). He still has plenty of time to get in position, so I'm now worried.

Its called an ecv.they still do it,I had one for my first DD and it was unsuccessful.and I agree its super painful and uncomfortable.

the baby should turn on its own, my oldest son was breech around that mark as well and he was delivered naturally. The only other option, and I am not too sure if they even do this anymore... it happened to my mom with my sister, but the Dr. used his hands to turn the baby. Said it was the most painful thing she ever went through though and that she would never do it again.

I wouldn't be too worried my dear... you have lots of time left where baby should turn around on its own.

This baby was breech at 34 Weeks and flipped at 35Weeks. My first DD was transverse (sideways) until 38.5 Weeks. She flipped 5minutes before they brought me to the or. They sent me home and I had her natural 3 Weeks later

There's loads of time for baby to move...but yesterday I heard acupuncture (spelt wrong :-)) gets baby moving. a neighbours baby was breech and she's due next week and she got it done and baby moved. but I dunno how safe it is.
