Just because their is less room doesn't mean your baby can't or won't move...I'm 34 weeks and 2 days ago I woke up and he was breech then a few hours later he went back to head down... Babies can even move during labor. At 36 weeks if you baby hadn't turned to head down then look into exercises and those .sorts of things

I agree with that there's still plenty of time and to try the exercises.  However, particularly since you've had several babies before, some doctors may be willing to perform a breech vaginal birth, depending on your personal circumstances.  I live in Australia and that's the situation here.

I would also suggest finding a chiropractor in your area that has experience doing the Webster technique. I've heard amazing things about it from my chiropractor and will definitely be doing it if need be. :-)

Him 36 weeks, on my 3rd baby. She's only just turned head down, I was told a week ago I'd probably have to have a section because I have an antirior placenta and there was less room for baby to move around, but she did, go on all fours head as low as you can go, num in the air, and wiggle a bit, also on a ball helps. Try not to lean back ALOT, good luck hunni x

My doctor told me not to even think about it until 34 weeks. If he hasn't turned by then, she says I can find a chiropractor to do the Webster technique. In the meantime, swimming, warm baths, play music down low, and working on posture can encourage him to flip on his own. But my baby is still constantly changing position (31 weeks) so even if he was head down, there's no reason he'd stay that way.

Try going to a chiropractor that is trained in the Webster technique! It helps to align your pelvis so baby flips back down (and bonus, getting adjusted did wonders for my lower back pain!). 33 weeks is still plenty if time for him to flip on his own too.

My baby was still breech at 37w and my water broke so that resulted in csection ! Hopefully your babe turns for you! But csections not so bad!

I'm in the same boat. My doc just told me that we still have time. He isn't going to worry til around 36 or 37 weeks. But I am trying the exercise boy time is referring to. I also read that swimming in a pool helps the baby move. So I'm gonna be doing that since we have a pool at home. Try those exercises hopefully it will help. N good luck

So this is your 5th? I had my 4th baby 9wks ago and he didn't engage fully until labour (at 41+1!) He was sideways right up until 38 wks too. I was told it's because there's so much more room for them to move after previous pregnancies. Don't panic yet, lots of time for her to move :)
