This baby has been head down really low for months. It was back to back so I was trying some spinning babies moves and finally felt the big move 3 days ago. I was very pleased and felt much better about the approaching birth.
Unfortunately today I discovered that what I thought was baby's bottom is in fact baby's head just below my ribcage to the right. I was so shocked. It's like a bad joke.
This is DC2 so there should be more room in there for turning. I tell myself that since he/she managed to switch to breech, she/he should manage to flip back.
Has this happened to you? What was the outcome?
They suggested turning baby manually but I've ruled that out. Too risky for my liking.
Seeing midwife again tomorrow and they'll schedule an u/s next week and a section at 39 weeks if baby hasn't turned.
It's very hard to plan for both possible birth styles emotionally. But I guess I'll have to.

36+5 and DC2 just flipped to breech. Odds of turning back?
