Breach that turned, did you feel it?

Mw said last week that baby (who was breach and then turned) had indeed become breach again.
Anyone else had a breach that turned that could feel it?
I had some discomfort and pressure on my pelvis about half an hour ago, it was like everything inside me was dropping and pushing downwards.
Is this baby turning? I really hope so
(I'm 34 weeks)

I felt my dd turn, it was uncomfortable and my tummy went lopsided for about 30 mins but then I was 38 weeks and she arrived 2 days later weighing 10.9lbs.

I was aware of big movements, but she was a gigantic wriggly baby anyway. She flipped from breech to head down at least twice between 29 and 34 weeks and stayed down from 36 weeks (I was having fortnightly growth scans so we began placing bets on her positioning before they started)

Thanks, just hoping little monkey turns and stays that way as I really want to labour/birth in the birthing centre with pools! Here's hoping :)

Ds went breech at 37 weeks and by goodness, I felt that! But then he went back to head down a week later in my sleep and I didn't feel a thing! DS was then born at 42 weeks in a hospital birthing pool, no problems.

DD also went breech but I had to have her turned by the consultant. That I did feel. She was then born at 41 weeks, problem free home birth.

So your baby has plenty of time to settle head down. I was advised to.minimise resting, lots of gentle exercise especially walking and sitting on a birthing ball to encourage baby to stay in favourable position.

No and I'm amazed because it was really quite late on that she turned and she was quite a big girl at 8lb 7oz. Don't know how I didn't feel it, when I went to the midwife app I was convinced she'd still be breech

It definitely feels different now (movement, etc) like he is further down than usual.
Hope he has turned and that he stays that way and doesn't become breach again

Yes, it felt like he was going to fall out as soon as he went head down, and that's when I developed the classic pregnancy waddle. I wouldn't worry at 34 weeks though as many turn later.
