anybody's baby breech at 34 weeks

[wyz1]

I'm 34 weeks and three days and my baby is stil breech. I've tried going on all fours, but doesn't look like she will turn. My Gyno said that she will  prescrbe me an ultrasound for 37 weeks and then we will try methods to coax the baby to turn but said that sometimes makes you go into preterm labor...anyone tried that or is going to try it?? I wish baby would just turn on her own :(

Interesting thank u :)

Mamamcanulty they can feel your belly and determine where your baby is. They are pretty good with that. With breech babies. My nephew was in breech so had scan at 37 weeks to see if it's safe to turn bub around due to cord around neck etc. Unfortunately they can't turn him around as he had cord around his neck twice. But if you want your baby to turn on its own I was told acupuncture or body massage worked on my friend. Her bub turned within 24 hours and she ended up having natural birth.

My daughter has been head down the whole time but in general how do u ladies know if ur not having an ultrasound done continuously? ???

I'm gonna try keeping a pack of frozen peas on my belly and shining a light down there...2 methods that may help turn her that I've heard of...hopefully she turns before my next ultrasound :(

I had a friend try that. Her baby didn't turn and they ended up doing a c section that day since what they tried put her into labor. But I've also read several success stories. It really is fifty/fifty. Good luck mama!
Have you talked to your doc about a vaginal breech delivery? If it's something he's done before (depending on what type breech baby is) it's possible to safely deliver a breech baby vaginally.
