Moms of breech babies

My baby turned into the breech position in the last few days. It seems like I am not feeling the kicks or movement as strong. Any one else experience this? Also, did your baby ever switch into the head down position or did you have a c-section?

My 2nd son was breech until he turned on his own @ 37.5 weeks. Chat Icon I would have had a c/s had he not turned.

Once he was "in position" I definitely felt different movement, not any less, just in different spots! Chat Icon

There are exercises you can do to get the baby to turn, an external version is an option (50% success rate), and there's also a chiropractic method (Webster Technique) that many women try. I chose to do the exercises. Chat Icon

Good luck!

Re: Moms of breech babies

I had the external version done with my first pregnancy. I wanted to avoid a c/c (just my own personal choice) as much as possible. It's average success rate is 50%, however, it truly depends on the Dr who performs it and what position the baby is in (which type of breech.)

I was on the verge of scheduling my second one but this baby decided to flip on it's on by 36/37 weeks.

There's the Webster Technique (you have to find a chiropracter who specializes in it and they like to start "treatment" by the 37 week,) accupuncture, and home exercises you can also do.

I never felt 'kicks' with my daughter. I got headbutts. I did get kicks that would push into my pelvis bone- it was extremelly painful but didn't feel like 'kicks'.

Re: Moms of breech babies

My daughter was a breechie and I had an unsuccessful version. She had the cord wrapped around her neck 2x so she had good reason to stay put. I had a c/s, but she was never head down apparently. I definitely felt less movement than with my son who was head down and regular v-birth. How far along are you? Ive heard of the baby turning even at 38 weeks.

My son was breech the whole time and he never turned. I chose not to have a version, and when my water broke, I ended up having a c/s. Towards the end, I certainly felt him kick. It felt like he was trying to push his foot out my you know what!Chat Icon
