Breech at 38/ 39 weeks

[Thaleia]

Hi,

Found out today that our baby is breech.

Because he's already quite far down, they said to me it's pointless to try and turn him.

Has someone's baby turn the right way despite being already 39 weeks pregnant?

Feel deflated and not sure if I should bother with "exercise" to turn him naturally.

Thanks, Thali

I'd like to know this as well. I've just found out our baby is breech too (I'm 35+5). I'm going to go for that ECV turning procedure but am not hopeful!

My first was breech and tried everything to turn, but no joy. Second was transverse and again tried everything to urn and no joy. Third was transverse and managed to get it to turn using exercises on spinning babies website. Didn't take long, and worked the same day I think. Still head down at 37 weeks.

I'd say it's definitely worth a try. Good luck.
