DS1 turned head down at 34 weeks and stayed that way but this one went from head down to breech at 35 weeks and then last week (36 weeks) he was back to head down! I'm worried! My OB will check him this week and if he's breech again, he will attempt to turn him by doing an External Cephalic Version which I'm not looking forward to but would prefer over a cesarean! I think it's hoped they're head down by 38 weeks in most cases?
I am 31 weeks and bub is breech - my OB said he would not be concerned until I reach 34 weeks as only 3% of babies are not in position at full term. He wouldn't even discuss options with he was that sure she would turn around. Hope you have some luck and little one cooperates and you get the birth you want.
I am 36.5 weeks and my baby is moving all over the place. She is generally head down, but spends a bit of time transverse and flips from posterior to anterior whenever she feels like it. My midwife isn't concerned yet since she moves so frequently so she obviously isn't getting stuck in any particular position.
I'm 35 weeks and this bub has just turned head down and I'm also worried he might decide to flip again. I'm waiting until my appointment on Monday to see if he's still head down and if yes, then I'll relax. In the meantime, I honestly believe the RLT tablets are helping me out by getting my uterus ready and hopefully that is reminding bub to do his part too.
I'm sure different care givers are different but my ob said she didn't put much thought into the position until about 36 weeks. This was for a first baby who alternated between head up and head down for each appointment.
