Plenty of time!!! Check out the spinningbabies website, research optimal fetal positioning and most of the things you can do they recommend starting at around 35 weeks anyway. I was a breech baby, was born 9 days postdates and turned head down on the day before I was due. I think babies know what they are doing but they just aren't given the time to do it these days. Sometimes babies can be breech as a result of uterus shape etc, but most of the time, doctors want a caesar at 38 weeks so what chance does baby have to turn?! Also, there is a risk of uterine rupture with a caesar as well, so if they want a caesar, that's high risk too! Heck, let's all call ourselves high risk so doctors can marvel at what is possible when we are!
There is actually a review on the Royal College of Obs/Gyns website saying that breech birth is actually favourable in certain situations. Problem is that no-one has done breech birth for so long, they have lost their skills at breech birth. But here's me rattling on about breech babies - I am sure bubs will turn before then.![]()
