I'm in the same situation, my baby's head is right under my right ribs I did the inversion at 39 weeks and 3 days but she has a mind of her own and only turned 90 degrees instead of 180 and 10 min after the procedure was stopped she went back to head up and now scheduled for c section on wed. C section was never in my plan but at the end of the day I want what's best for and me so just be open minded and from my experience the inversion hurts and very uncomfortable
Thanks so much to all of you!!!!
I found out at 37 that my son was breech. I was scheduled for a version also, but the doctor decided not to pursue it because LO had his cord around his neck and was facing out (tricky little guy). They scheduled me a c section for 39 weeks which I was severely bummed about bc I was going for a natural birth too. I went in last Tuesday for the c section and he had turned all by himself! So tomorrow is my due date, im pretty sure he is still head down, just waiting for contractions to start or my waters to break. You still have time even if the version doesnt work! Don't stress! Babies know how to be born!
I did the version with my first baby around 37 weeks because she was breech from 34 weeks on and I had tried every exercise to get her to flip. I even visited the acupuncturist but nothing worked. The version was the only thing that worked and once they turned her she stayed put so I was able to have a natural birth. They monitor the baby the whole time to make sure it is not stressing the baby's heart rate. This is my 2nd baby and the last couple of checks has been in the right position. My 37 week appointment is tomorrow. Good luck tomorrow! I hope it works!
I am going through the same thing!! My baby was head down at 36 weeks and is in same position now at my 38 week apt i have a scheduled c section now for Thursday ill be 39 weeks then but this is my second baby my first was vaginally and i chose not to flip it it really comes down to personal choice for that i hear lot of cons and pros about flipping it just depends how the baby is some say it didnt work for them that it flipped right back after but hopefully it goes good for you i just didnt dare do it! Good luck!
