Breech Baby - So uncomfortable!

[RubyLouise]

My baby is still Breeched...

I know i have a few weeks for things to change but im not feeling too positive about it

The thing is im SO uncomfortable. I can feel her head on my right side under my ribs and i cant bend forward and really stops me from moving about.... and the kicks in my pelvis are horrible....

I just want her to go head down! Sitting back all the time is hurting my back but i just cant sit up straight because its painful on my tummy...

Is anyone else got a similiar problem?

I believe its around 36 weeks when they like to discuss C section (i could be wrong) My consultant said i would have Section between 38-39 weeks if she doesnt move

My first daughter went head down from 28 weeks last time so this head in my ribs is new to me lol Its horrible!

I hope your baby moves soon for you x

You still have loads of time for the baby to turn! I was a breech baby right up until a week before I was born. I know it must be incredibly uncomfortable, but don't lose hope yet!

 

[Liberty8888]

Good luck to you too! I'm sure we will be fine x

Sorry you're uncomfortable my baby is breech too and my back and ribs are so sore.

If baby doesn't turn in time are you going to consider an ECV before c-section? I think I will. I was also considering requesting c-section for 41 weeks to allow her a bit more time to turn on her own. It's not unknown for babies to turn around just in the nick of time!

I dont know much about ECV to be honest....

I just know its where they try and turn baby, I might have a read up online now to see how much sucess they normally have with it.

Because of Blood Pressure problems in my first pregnancy i dont think my consultant wants me going over 40 weeks so i dont think i could wait till 41. Although i'll do anything to avoid a C section (I have a total fear of it)

I hope your baby turns soon x

I'm in exactly the same position. Head right underneath my ribs on my right. I've had to change my chair and everything in work because I couldn't breathe.

I'm not positiv e my LO will go head down either. Although my midwife is happy with the amount of movement I get, it isn't a lot (baby is spine out, so it's my internal organs that are getting the beating and I can't feel it!) My baby hasn't actually changed positions for more than 4 weeks. I've already been doing exercises with a birthing ball and spinningbabies.com for 5 weeks. I have my next Midwife appointment on Tuesday and I will be asking more questions then.

Hi
I am also in same situation as you. My babies head is on my right side under my rib cage and when it kicks in the pelvic it is very uncomfortable. I am due on 28th August but I have my fourth scan on 02 August to see if the baby has changed position, but I think the baby likes it better the way he is. I am very scared of C-Section and this is my first baby. However on 02 August the doctors will discuss Labour with me. Let me know if your baby changed its position and I will keep you updates.

My baby is still Breeched...

Hey, Im exactly the same!! My little boys head is under my right rib! when he has a stretch it slides to the left! He also has "off the scale" long legs bless him so he kicks out and bounces off my hip bone! weirdly I have felt pretty comfortable up until a few days ago, my back is KILLING!! Im wondering if he's trying to turn because I have also been pretty sick! He hasnt changed position yet though My midwife said theres every chance he will turn , if not I will have a position scan around 36-37 weeks! and then if he's still breech a c-section around 38 weeks! Fingers crossed for us all that the little monkeys turn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Same position here. Except baby girl is frank breech which looks soooo uncomfy for her. I have my scan on Tuesday to see if she is still breech (which I know she is) and then my doctor will discuss options. Personally ECV kinda scares me and I rather the baby turn on her own. If she doesn't turn, I guess I will get a c-section at 38 or 39 weeks...

 

[suspectpink]

ive also said 100% NO to having the baby turned!! I know everyone is different but Ive heard such horror stories and Im such a wimp too xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[babyliciouss]

Hi Girls.

I had my scan at 36 weeks and 2 days, and the baby has turned itself. I am keeping my fingers crossed now for it to keep head down lol. Good luck to all hope urs turns itself too xx x

 

[Baby2012]

Oh ladies I could cry! I'm so happy to find you all although not happy that we're in this situation!

My baby is transverse and has been throughout. If she hasn't moved by 36 weeks then I've been offered a ECV gah I'm so fed up. I'm thinking of trying moxibustion.

I really hope she turns because I don't want a c section at all like one of the pp my baby is super long too, currently 60 cm!? so I'm wondering if that makes it harder for her to turn....

sigh!

wishing us all the good luck, turns babies turn!!!

My baby is still breech as well and I also feel a lot of kicking in my pelvis, like small electric schocks!

My midwife also told me he has another 3 weeks to turn and apparently, there is still quite enough liquid and space for him to do so.

I have a question to all ladies who were told that there would be a c-section if baby doesn't turn: is that systematic?

In Switzerland, where I live, they will consider how wide my hips are and the weight of the baby to determine if I can have a vaginal birth or if c-section is really unavoidable.

Has anyone tried acupuncture? I heard it could make a big difference in making baby turn!

I know there is a tendency for medical practioner to shy away from breech birth because they lack experience....

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!!

Wow I am so glad that I found this thread!! little Esmee is still breech! She was head down up untill 30 weeks and then changed to breech, since then I have been so incredibly uncomfortable, struggling to work because its got to the point where sitting down is really uncomfortable!. I really pray she turns her head around, I am just like you ladies just praying she moves around soon! xx

 

[Mummythree]

Yep i was the same, my son was breech most of my pregnancy. x

 

[Sproglet]

My baby is breech too, head under right ribs, bum off to the right and feet tucked up kicking me in the pelvis.

I struggle with bending down to do things like putting my socks on or picking things up off the floor. And when I sit down I get pains in my stomach/rib area. I'm glad I found this thread because I didn't realise it was down to her position, I thought it was just a general pregnancy thing. So maybe if she turns I'll be able to bend more easily?

 

[LeoLeah77]

Lol I could have written this thread myself. But ive come to the conclusion that if baby wants to be breech then that's how it's supposed to be! In fact I find it ironic that she was breech like me and I'm having a c-section on my 21st birthday (how my mother had me) I am uncomfortable and the most comfiest position I can get into is lying on my left side with a load of pillows. I feel a lot of pain and pressure on my right ribs where her head is and I get a lot of pelvic pain when she wriggles her bum. But I'm just thankful that she's okay and is moving about

 

[Mummythree]

lol when people say oh babys feet are on my ribs i used to say yeah? try having the head pushing your ribs up lol
