breeched baby still :((

Im 35 w +4 & had an ultrasound today baby is still breeched doc said the chance of baby turning is low because baby doesnt really have much room to turn in the womb. They said they can have me cone in monitor me &try to turn the baby with their hands but theres a risk of baby heart beat dropping or two schedule an automatic c section . The thought of both scares me im a ftm this is alot for me to take in i just want to kno if anyone ever been in this situation before & baby turned at last min or helpful insight :/

My baby was breech around 35 weeks also. Do you know how much amniotic fluid you have- on the high side or low? The baby doesnt have much room, but its still possible for baby to move. Im 37 weeks and my baby is now head down. You can also try going on all fours (knees and hands) so baby can have more room to move. I hope a little miricle happens and your baby will turn. You still have some time.

I honestly would let them try to turn the baby. There are also exercises you can do at home to coax him/her to turn. Ask your doctor about that. But if his heart rate goes too low then they would just give you your c-section. But having a vaginal birth is much better than a c-section. You will heal quicker and feel normal within days.
