Breech Baby. :(

[Cassandrajane]

I know I only posted Yesterday about BH contractions.. (I am an unlucky one who has off the scale BH contractions :(...) by 5 pm last night they were every 4 mins?? But my test  came back neg about me going into labour within 10 days Soooo yeah..

As you know Cassie is 29 weeks and 4 days pregnant now, and well yesterday I found out Harry is breech :(... Does he have plenty of time to turn...
I read that babies are / can be breech, because the comfort of the mothers heart beat and voice,.. and there are many ways to turn the baby, like ICE cold peas on the top of your stomach cause they move away from the cold, shining a light (although not sure where to shine it??) AND playing music at the bottom of your uterus so they follow that??

How do you yourself know where baby's head is because I got arms and legs going everywhere and I cant tell what is what? And I really dont want him breech!! Can he turnn?? Cause I got a weird feeling at the top now, like kicks but it could be punches, I dunooo...


Thanksss

I think there are excersises and positions you can do in order to help him go head down. Look into it but he still has lots of time to move down still!!

Ohhh... Not that bad then, Ive had that before.... with my thingy last year, they had to turn her whilst I was awake then induce me and givee me other meds then I had my 6 hrs of contractions then put to sleep.... then took her out.. :(, I miss her!

And I had that cervix checker thingy where they open you up to check you or when you have a smear or something sooo I know what that feels like too... I had it yesterday hahahah.

I am really hoping he turns because I really wanna deliever naturally, and if they mention a work begining with C, ill be like NOPE, I want you to try and turn him first.

But I got time, i'll stopp worrying, I didnt think he would turn so it was a shock type thingg!! But I know he has time and now I know its not really painful to turn him either!

Not really. They just kinda push down and rub your stomach putting pressure behind the head until the baby gets uncomfortable and tucks it's head and rolls.

[Cassandrajane]

With the Version would the pressure be the same as having a spectum thingyy they use to check your cervix??

I do want a natural birth but if I NEED a c section I will, but I wont really feel the bond with a C section cause I duno... just wont seem special cause hes being yanked if that makes sense?

I will just have faith, and hope he will turn, if not, I will get a version and stop listening to the internet! LOL.

Thankss youu

My first daughter was breech and they gave her until 38 weeks to turn since at 38 weeks only like 3% of babies are breech. Its so early now I wouldn't even worry about it since Harry is going to flip around every which way for a while. However I would suggest getting the external version if he ends up still being breech. When I was pregnant with my first I felt that having a c-section would ruin the special moment of her being born and i refused to have to deal with the recovery time from a c-section. So despite all the horror stories of how painful versions are I went ahead and did one and all I can say is that all those stories are bullpucky. I felt a little pressure but it didn't hurt at all and it was over within 5 minutes. I also have the lowest pain tolerence so that is saying something. I stub my toe and i cry like it got broken. Moral of the story: internet usually gives the worst case scenario since people like to talk about how miserable things make them and when it works right they just go on with their life.
