Moxie Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Okay, I need to hear positive stories about babies who have turned at the end of a pregnancy. My OB told me to not worry until 36 weeks but I can't help it; my pregnancies have always been textbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Mine did. He turned I think it was 2 weeks before he was born full term. I did nothing to aid this, and the Doctor had already scheduled me for a C-section since babies don't turn that late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Boo was transverse, and turned. He had been head down, but flipped sideways during an u/s :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemongoose Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I had one turn right at 36 weeks. Dr advised DH to talk to him (the baby) close to the exit, to see if he would follow the sound and flip. It worked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PentecostalMom Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I had one that was upside down while I was in labor. Midwives massaged and she turned. Can be done, even up to the very end. Check out spinningbabies.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jen* Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 My 4th didn't turn until 34 weeks. Went to bed and he was breech - woke up the next morning and he was head down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeneralMom Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 DD3 was still breech when the midwives checked at 36 weeks. Two days later I felt what was like a really bad contraction, my whole stomach did this crazy acrobatic thing and I called the midwives who thought it was probably her turning. They came to my house about 5 days later and checked and she had turned - good thing because I was 9cm dilated without knowing it and she was born 2 hours later.

lorrainejmc Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 My youngest was head down until my then toddler ran head first into my bump causing baby to flip into the breach position around 32 weeks. He turned head down again on his own around 36 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiredmommyof8 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Check out spinningbabies.com. :iagree:. Mine are normally late turners. Find a chiropractor that specializes in the Webster Maneuver. I found one that had actually studied under Dr Webster. My last baby was breech until 39+ weeks. I went to the chiro several times a week for about a month. The baby flipped thank goodness because I was refusing to have a scheduled c-section simply because I had a baby in the Frank breech position.

dsmama Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 My DD was transferse at 36 weeks. I saw a chiropractor like the PP mentioned. DD turned head down in two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sylvia was transverse as late as 34-35 weeks. I had to have a C-section anyway, but she did kindly move head down so I didn't need the classical incision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I have a girlfriend who was prepped for a c-section before they realized her baby had flipped, finally. She was 39+ weeks and due to be sectioned because baby was breech. She fasted the night before, went in bright and early, was changed, hooked up to an IV, the whole nine yards...and they did an ultrasound to confirm presentation and location of parts, etc. and saw that baby had flipped sometime during that last 24 hours. She delivered vaginally a few days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapasnaturalles Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 DD3 was still breech when the midwives checked at 36 weeks. Two days later I felt what was like a really bad contraction, my whole stomach did this crazy acrobatic thing and I called the midwives who thought it was probably her turning. They came to my house about 5 days later and checked and she had turned - good thing because I was 9cm dilated without knowing it and she was born 2 hours later. I kind of had the same thing. DD2 turned when I was 35w2d pregnant. But she made a leak in my water without me knowing it. 4 days later the labor started, but when we arrived in the hospital I was already fully dilated. Haven't had much pain with her. And she was perfect! Good weight, good length... 2 days later we went home with her already. A real succes-story here, although she was born 4 weeks "premature". I have to admit, if she hadn't turn, I would have given birth naturally. I know they use way too much c-sections in America, but you don't have to if you don't want that. A woman is more than capable of giving birth to a baby that comes with his feet/bump first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma2Many66 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 My 6th baby turned the day before my scheduled c section. He turned all on his own :001_smile:. I went in for a scheduled turning to see if the doctor could manipulate him into turning head down. When I got in there they hooked me up to an ultrasound machine to check on him and they saw that he had already turned head down. I felt him turning during the night and told them of what I suspected, I was thrilled not to have them have to turn him, since I heard it was not a pleasant experience. I ended up a few days later having an emergency c setion anyway, but not related to him being breech or his size. He ended up being 10 and a half pounds and 22 inches long, my biggest baby :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamakim Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yep, piling on here . . . 2 of mine breech at 36+ weeks and turned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in TX Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 One of mine (3rd, I think) was breech at 36 weeks and turned on his own sometime between then and delivery. Try not to worry! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 My son turned after his projected due date, but before I went into natural labor. I had a midwife and a back-up OB with experience delivering breech. So many women in my same position get pushed into the C-section before their due date. I'm glad it wasn't my first baby or I would've fallen for the 'necessity' of the c-section in my (just my own personal) situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Condessa Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 My first daughter was breach and turned around at 39 weeks. So did I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiebird Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 My second to last baby turned right near her due date. She was breech until then and I used a lot of the spinning babies stuff and burned moxy or whatever it was called.(because unfortunately, all the other things cost $$ I didn't have). My last baby though went footling and was doing the splits. He wasn't going anywhere without the c/section unfortunately. It was weird- after he was born, he would be on his back with one leg straight in the air. I'm hoping for a vbac for my current baby. We'll see!

SnowWhite Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I second the recommendation to check out spinningbabies.com because it helped me turn my baby at 34 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
