feet down?

My daughter is constantly breech! I'm only 24+3 but I've heard if my baby keeps that position most commonly she has a higher chance of being born breech?

She likes to be sideways for bed but during the day she is upright pushing her feet down, I try to get her to reposition but she kicks in protest which hurts so I stop.

Babies flip themselves around clear up to delivery. Its not a way to tell what position they will be in and thats why drs dont check that every appointment til around 36+. Mine didnt til 38. Your baby is very uncomfortable, more than you are so they need the movement to work out those limbs so they can be strong enough out of the womb :)

I'm in the same boat! My baby is breeched and I don't think she is going to turn :/  I am 33+2 and at my last appointment my doc was going to schedule a c section. She said if she turns then we won't do it but she wanted to have it scheduled in case so at my next appointment I find out what day she set it for. I'm a ftm so I am scared of a c section too.

Yea they had me do some exercises that were supposed to help her flip but I didn't really do them but I think you'll be good you have plenty of time for the baby to flip. I was like 34 weeks when she flipped back.

My daughter was always sideways up until a couple weeks before I had her. She flipped head down for a couple days and then decides to flip so she was butt down. She stayed that way. I had to have a c section because of it.
