Baby is still breech

[rghkah38]

Tomorrow I will be 36 weeks and found out today that the baby is still breeched.  I scheduled a c-section for 7/06/2010.  My actual due date is 7/11, but I will still be full term at 39 weeks.  I'm very bummed right now because I was hoping she would of turned.  The dr. mentioned to me that they can try to turn the baby, but since I have a rib out that's causing me to have a lot of pain already that it will probably cause more pain for me.

My LO is still breech as well and my C is scheduled June 28th.  I have tried the exercises but it doesn't seem to do squat lol.  Just think of all the good things about C/S :D

My first baby flipped breech at 36 weeks & I had him turned manually.  It was very uncomfortable & I thought labor was a bit better too.  They gave me meds to stop contractions I was having every couple mins when I came in & then they gave me stuff to relax my uterus which made my pulse shoot way up, which they warned me.  I had a hard time breathing plus had to lay on my back.  Little stinker flipped shortly after & at 39 weeks as I was going to have to have a C-section, he flipped again.  I had to be induced past my due date.  You never know with the little ones what they will do.  I can say it was painful, but would probably do it again if I had to- not if I had an issue with a rib though as they maneuver all over your belly & dig pretty hard into your belly as they roll baby.  Good luck & maybe she'll turn on her own.

I have heard of exercises to help get the baby to head down. Maybe you can look some up and give it a try

awww I'm sorry that stinks...some babies are just sooo stubborn about that. Oh well you'll still get your healthy baby girl, no matter how she comes...and this way you won't injure your rib farther so you could look at it that way!! My mom had to have an external manual version at 35wks to flip me and I ended up coming a few days later...she said it hurt worse than labor, which she did without pain meds or anything, so maybe a good thing not to have to have it!!
