Breech 38 + 4

[JessicaES]

Hi 👋🏼
I attended my Midwife appointment yesterday (38 + 4) a scan last Thursday confirmed baby was Breech, yesterday the midwife was absolutely convinced baby is cephalic. I have my CS date booked however, first time during the whole pregnancy the baby’s heart beat was found with the Doppler on my lower right side. I initially
panicked and thought maybe she’d picked up the placenta however this was definitely not the whooshing sound of the placenta.
She is referring me for a scan to check baby’s position but I’m nervous about getting my
hopes up to find that he is still actually Breech. MW was feeling for a long time and felt my pelvis telling me to take a deep breath and sounded convinced it was his head.

First born was straight forward, one hour pushing so praying I get the opportunity to attempt a vaginal delivery again.

What are the chances he has turned? Would I have not noticed if he had being so far along?

Thank you 💐

Hey! I'm nearing 37 weeks and my baby is all over the place. They were engaged two weeks ago, then I had my midwife appointment this week and they were laying sideways on the right. I wake up in the morning and baby is right under my ribs on the left! This is my 5th, so I assume there is more space to move around? I'm also worried they'll go completely breech again.

I'm sorry I don't really have any advice. I know people have said when they have felt baby turn it's been very noticeable... But maybe that depends how much room they have to start with. If you're very petite it's probably very obvious?

I also worry baby will change position in between appointments though, and/or midwife will get it wrong.
Hope your scan goes well, let me know!

In my experience midwives are useless at telling bum from head by just feeling your bump etc. I've had 2 breech babies and both times multiple midwifes had assured me that the head was down before scans revealed otherwise.

One of mine was transverse and turned to breech at around 37 and there was no way I could have missed that, it felt like I was suddenly at sea as my insides all shifted!

So I'm sorry to say say that I think at this late in the day I think you definitely would have felt the baby do a 180 turn.
