Breech position movements

Hello!

I'm 34+5 and found out very recently that my baby has suddenly turned breech (informed by MW palpitations versus scan).

Baby's movements have definitely felt different recently so would tally up.
They're still as frequent/active as ever but have changed location and for want of a better word just feel a bit weaker and deeper!

I rang my local assessment unit who said they are not worried about strength of movement, just the amount.

Guess I'm looking reassurance that breech movements can feel like this?

Was unwell in hospital over weekend with both of our HR's super high so perhaps still feeling anxious over that

I found out I’m having a beech baby yesterday at 36 weeks. C section now booked in at 39 weeks.

I’m not sure if mine has ever not been breech so may not be helpful. I feel big squirm type movements really high up under my ribs, where is head is, and then obviously his legs are low down so I feel the kicks below my belly button. Sometimes if he turns to the side slightly I don’t feel it is as strongly.

If your unit have checked it out please feel reassured that all is as it should be. Yours still has time to turn. They’ll offer you a scan if they think he’s still breech in a week or so?

My LO was breech at around 32 weeks and I was told there was still time to turn and 2 weeks later she did. I remember movements hurting a lot due to where her head was and I had severe rib and back ache too. I was reminded to phone up if movements were ever reduced thought
