baby is breech

Went to the doc had my ultra sound and my son hasnt turned.this is my 3 pregnancy and I've never had to deal with this. When I asked what the out come would be I got told csection. I've had 2all natural child births and hate needles and I already have back issues.I've seen post on here were the doc flips the baby but they didn't give me that option. I'm 30 weeks and 2 days but he is measuring 2 weeks ahead and already 4pds.i'm going every two weeks now to see if he will flip if not another ultra sound in a month to see were he is to plan on the csection. Need all the advice on this.could I be put to sleep instead of having the spinal or epidural?

Yes i'm high risk but they didn't give me the option to get him turned if he don't turn on his own. but I've never had the issue with my other two. They say every pregnancy is different and there right one good one and one that came a month early then this one has been nothing but issues.

Don't stress too much, I'm on my 3rd pregnancy & bub was breech & 6 pound at a scan at 33 weeks, I'm now 36 & bubby is head down. My 2nd bub was transverse until I went into labour.

My doctor didn't even check on the position until I was 35 weeks. Before that the baby still got room to flip back.

Are u high risk?? The reason I ask is because I go for my 30 week checkup and I wonder will they tell me if my baby is breech.

Ive had two c sections, and trust me you would rather have the epidural than be put to sleep. But on another note, baby has plenty of time to flip!! Ask your Dr about a transversion. See if that's an option instead of a c section outcome!

Getting on your elbows and knees and wiggling your bottom for 10-15 minutes a few times a day can encourage the baby to turn. I've also heard swimming can help. Your baby still has a bit of time to turn on his own. My first son turn head down at 36ish weeks. Good luck
