Went to the midwife today for an appointment (33+4) and asked about the position of the baby, she said oblique, however head is under my right ribs bum at left hip. So really oblique breech (and back to back for good measure!). It’s my second, so I know there is still time for it to turn and it does move around a lot. I’m sure it was traverse or head down oblique a couple weeks ago.
I know how it pans out if baby doesn’t turn. The thing is I asked the midwife if I should be trying to help it along, checking spinning babies, etc. It was a pretty quick no, as the baby could go fully breech and be more difficult to move.
My issue is I don’t want an ECV or c-section, obviously I appreciate one or both might be needed but keen to avoid if I can. My next appointment is at 37+4, obviously at that point we will be talking ECV and I can’t see there being a lot of time to explore/try alternative methods of turning the baby. And there in lies my issue... ignore my midwife and try a bit of spinning babies and possibly swimming (I already do yoga which she wasn’t fine with)? Or follow her advice and risk nothing changing? I’m leaning towards ignoring her on this one... obviously I also appreciate baby might just sort itself out but I cannot see the harm in trying to help it out a bit!
