:(:( feeling disappointed, anyone with advice for me?

Im 29 weeks pregnant and was told my baby is not yet upside down which is fine however, both midwife and ultrasound lady have told me that if by 36 weeks baby doesnt get into the right position (upside down) then I would need a cesarean..... :(:(:( I really want a natural birth! I had a cesarean with my first due to preecclampsia but had natural for my second. I really do not want to go through having a cesarean again... is it true that I would absolutely have to have a cesarean if baby doesnt get into position? And does anyone know of how I could maybe help baby into the correct position?

You have loads of time for baby to turn. Stop stressing.

I'm 32 weeks and baby just flipped a few days ago. You have some time. I did the exercises they recommend on the internet like being upside down and massaging your stomach in circles and I guess it worked.

There are doctors who know how to turn a baby. A lot of them aren't even taught that anymore and c-sections are just easier for them.

Baby has time to turn up until past 36 weeks. They should have suggested ways to turn your baby instead of immediately saying you would need a csection. If my body went into labor while baby was breach my midwife said she could deliver because she is trained in it. It's only dangerous if you have a epidural and baby is breach.

I do know that yea you would have to have a c section if he's not in position because that could be extremely dangerous for both your child and you if he came out breech.
