Ok I'm 34 week and baby is breach. I know she could still turn and I'm doing all the ball bouncing, picking up fluff from the floor, spinning baby's techniques to help. She is baby no 3 but the other 2 were a long time ago ( 25 & 23 years!!!) Both very easy no intervention natural births with only gas and air at 34+4 and 36 weeks. so chances are she may put in an early arrival too.
I really don't want a section unless medically necessary however it seems to be becoming the norm with breach presentation. I have Mw on Tuesday to discuss birth plan. Will she think I'm nuts if i say I want to try to deliver naturally even if baby stays breach? When i had my first 2 it was quite common. Due to my advancing age (43) i have agreed to a hospital birth ideally a water birth.
