Anyone had more than one breech baby?

Both of my babies (DD, 2 years 2 months; DS, 3 months) were breech, and born at 38 weeks by c-section. Was really surprised when I learnt DS was breech too. Anyone else had more than one breech baby? The consultant said it's more common once you've had one, but still pretty rare!

DD was breech and was turned by ECV - am now 26 weeks pg with no. 2 who is currently breech but I know has plenty of time to turn and I am hoping this is what she'll do. I did ask my midwife when I saw her this week and she also said that it is more likely that this one will be breech as dd was, and could be down to the shape of my uterus - i.e. babies just more comfortable in it that way around! I'd also be interested to hear if others had more than one breech as I'm really keen to have a home birth this time and want to avoid c-s if at all poss.

You should be fine for a homebirth there, bonymerryxmas. If you've had one successful ECV then you can easily have another near term if the baby stays breech. ECV is meant to be much more successful after your first pg too. Good chance she'll shift before then too! Good luck with it!

All of mine ( i have 3) have been breech but that is because i have a funny shaped womb and there isn't enough room for them to turn around after about 30 weeks.

I had 3 sections but now wish i had pushed to at least be alowwed to try for a normal delivery.
