I am nearly 35 weeks pg with second DC, and was told at 32 weeks that the baby was breech. I am fairly sure it still is, as it all still feels the same (pain in ribs on right and kicks in hip on left). In searching for 'problems' associated with breech births, I have discovered that actually a breech presentation means a greater risk of congenital abnormliaties (like hydrocephaly),and have now got myself very worried (as if I wasnt worrying about enough already!) as was completely unaware of that. Cant find anything that puts any context/magnitude on this increased risk - and wondered if anyone here knew anything about it or could reassure me in any way?? Thanks!
