Breech at 32 weeks - chances of turning?

surreysharon · Jan 17th, 2011, 17:28 PM

Ive been breech for the last few weeks and have an obstetrician appt booked for 36 weeks to discuss options if he hasnt turned. Anyone else breech still at 32 weeks?
Did the baby turn in time?
Really dont want ECV or a C-Section

32 weeks is still early!
I wouldn't worry too much.
Alot of babies turn in the last few weeks, some even during labor.

My MD told me that my baby is tranverse at 33 weeks and I did this:

I don't know if this helped or she just wanted to turn, but at my 36 weeks appointment she was in the right position for birth-head down, anterior position. Worth trying, is not hard and I don't see any harm in this. Also staying on all fours for 10min twice a day may help too.

Good luck

I wouldn't worry too much, baby still has heaps of time to turn hun.

Definately, there is still some room in there. There are things you can try to encourage baby to move aswell, like mentioned going on all fours and then there is bouncing on a gym ball. I wouldnt worry until you see what they say at your next appointment

32 weeks is still quite early with plenty of time to turn. Try that link for spinning babies posted above and try and adopt good posture to ensure baby has optimum room for turning.

Im finding out tomorrow if mine has turned, but between 28 and 32 weeks he turned round three times! so far been trying to decypher what body parts are at what part of my bump...i swear i felt a foot at the top..good sign but now theres a big hard lump which i hope is a bum or back and not a head!

But I have heard of babies turning right up to the point of delivery, my friends one did. ...fingers crossed for both of us that ours behave and do the right thing...i dont want a csection either! xxx

I know I probably sound really naive about things...but how do you even know the baby is breech? Did you get an ultrasound?
