Bub is breech at 28 weeks...

[Nadine]

I had my obs appointment today and he said bubs is breech. He didn't seem fazed at all and said it was fairly common at this time and he said she had plenty of time to turn.

Has anyone had experience with bubs being breech but then turning towards the end?

Did you do anything to help bub or did they do it on their own? If you helped, what did you do?

I have read about ECV's and am not liking the thought of them. I am happy to try anything else though that is safe for bub.

When do I start trying to move bub? I don't want to start too soon but don't want to leave it too late either. Am hoping I won't have to help her though.

I must also say that my fear of birth is needing a c-section, hence why I am determined to avoid one. Of course if it means bub and/or my health and saftey is at risk I wouldn't hesitate in having one. But if it is avoidable.......

Thanks heaps

I just did an almost identical post

Our bub is still breech (as far as I know, next appt tomorrow) at 32 weeks and I'm starting to get stressed about it too.

Have a look at the spinning babies website, I've had a quick look but will have a proper look tonight once the kids are in bed.

Although my ob will deliver vaginally, it depends on baby's position etc and my biggest fear is also a c/s.

Let's hope these babies turn on their own!

Yes I have looked at that site and will print out some ifno to read.

Maybe we need to give these babies a good talking to. I haven't asked my obs yet but will at the next appointment. I am glad I am not the only one scared of a c/s.

Honestly, I'm terrified at the prospect!

That makes two of us!

I currently have a breech bub and my first was as well. I seem to have stubborn girls. This time round I tried chiro to get her to turn, hasn't worked but apparently has for many people. You need to find a chiro that is specifically trained in the webster technique which is the technique to assist turning. THe chiro I saw said 30 weeks was the ideal time to start to try and get bubs to turn.
