Breech baby - tell me good stories of them turning by themselves!

Am nearly 32 weeks pregnant and baby is breech. DS was wedged head down from earlier than now, so am not holding out too much hope of this one turning - plus DS was 8lb 10oz and this one looks like being similar or more and I'm not tall, so there's not much room in there!

Am doing some research because I like to know things so I can ask the right questions (or at least not mental ones) of consultants. Am not one of those people who assume that just because I've read something it will happen to me

Who's had a breech baby, and what happened? Did it turn naturally? Was it turned? And if so, how? ECV, or other method? Did it result in an emergency c-section? Or did you opt for a c-section and what was that like?

Thanks!

hm, def too early to be worrying. One of my dts didn't turn breech until after 36 weeks. If there is room for a twin to turn there is def room for one to turn. And I never even felt it! They ended up both breech, and so I opted for a section. I felt like the worry had been taken awy by plannign the section, but I don't know if I would have made the same choice with a singleton.
Good luck, didn't know you were pg.
