28 weeks, head up and facing the world... but I don't need to worry right?

I can't give you any advice about breech bubs, but there is a great website called spinningbabies (put a dot com at the end) that shows you ways that you can encourage your baby to turn. Both my sister and my close friend had success when using the methods.

I hope she turns soon!

I wouldn't stress but I would absoultey do the stuff on spinningbabies like posture etc.

Start with OFP now & get that little gil moving I say. It cat help to get into practice with all the positions to move her vertx & anterior (head down, back to the front). Check out spinningbabies.com - Home for some great ideas on how to get her into the right spot. One really important thing to do IMO, is to not recline back when you're sitting. Lean forward on the lounge with cushions behind you, sit on a fit ball, have you carseat upright. It makes a huge difference, my posterior baby turned in a week of me consciously remembering to not recline

Having said that though, 12 weeks is a long time to get her to move so I wouldn't be stressing too much about it just yet

Caleb was in the breech position when I had a scan at 27 weeks and before that he was transverse. My memory is a bit hazy at how many weeks till the next OB visit (I'm guessing 31?) but he was head down then.

There is plenty of time for her to turn

My midwife said to me on Tuesday that bubs don't start getting comfy till about 32 weeks... and even then they can change position - so I wouldn't worry too much... start getting around on your hands and knees - that may help

I'm sure all will be fine..

Most first babies turn head down by 30-32 weeks. First ones generally turn down earlier and stay down, because your uterus has less "give" - not being all stretchy from previous pregnancies.

I wouldn't worry about it yet but maybe think about becoming more aware of your posture and definitely have a look at spinning babies - it will help you to understand how and when babies turn and what you can do to help.

A client of mine recently had an ECV at 37 weeks - if it didn't work was going to refuse a caesarean (knowing that the hospital she's going to has an OB experienced in breech birth - this is important but many middies and OB's have never attended a breech birth and so try to manage it like a cephalic birth - which is downright dangerous. So definitely best to go where there is someone who understands it and has experience).
Where was I ... duh oh yeah the ECV worked and no dramas at all. ECV is considered safe when done by someone experienced. Me personally, I would have that ANY day over a c/section if a vaginal birth wasn't an option. I'd look into it yourself and make up your own mind.

Good luck...don't worry it'll be cool.

I wouldn't worry at all. At my 27 wk app my lil' one was transverse (which I might add was VERY uncomfy), by at my 30/31 week app, it had turned and is now head down.

My sugesstion is to just keep your cool, and she will turn in her own good time.
