What happens if baby doesnt turn?&how will I know?

I am 35 weeks 3 days pregnant and my midwife was concerned at 33 weeks as my little boy was head down since 26 weeks and had turned back head up at 33 weeks! I am 16 years of age and his position will be checked again on Saturday but he doesnt feel as if he has turned!

Is there any way I can see if he is head down or not? -ive heard that if hiccups are low then they are probably head down but is there anything else i could use to tell?
And if he is still breech by Saturday then what will the procedure be? Will it change anything and what happened to you if yours was breech?

Sorry if you dont understand my bad English!:/

Breech usually means csection, and they will find outby an ultrasound.

They can manually turn the baby, but only if the baby is not in distress. My little brother was thought to be breech and they did a c-section on my mom and he had turned during labor so when they pulled him out he was head down.

Don't pay for anything, just scroll past that  .

Around here there are a few midwives and OBs who will attend a breech birth, if the baby is in an ideal position and it is what the mother wants. I think it helps if she has given birth before. Most of the time, a c-section is performed.

Also, it is possible to try to manually turn the baby. I've read a bit about it but I don't have a lot of information for you.

Best of luck!

You still have lots of time for him to turn.
Don't let them pressure you into a c-section right away if you don't want one.

My first was transverse (so she was basically horizontal instead of vertical) and my doctor was awesome and didn't jump right to a c-section. Tried to turn her at appointments, but Fi was stubborn, lol.

Finally about 3 hours into terrible contractions (total labor was only 4 1/2 hours for me) they decided to do a c-section.
When DH went to the waiting room to let my parents know, Fi flipped.

So it might be a really small percentage of babies that will turn themselves that late (the nurse said it's like, 2 or 3%) it's still possible (and totally fine to wait it out if you have an otherwise healthy pregnancy).
Good luck mama, hang in there!

What ever you do DON'T get an ECV (where they turn the baby) It was so painful! I had bruises by my ribs and near my pelvic bone. It didn't even work! At 36 weeks the doctor tried to turn him and it broke my water! A csection is not bad at all. I had one with my son and will have another one is September. Good luck!

I have never liked the idea of having him turned to be honest and I probably would opt for the Csection cause i dont really want to try get him out naturally when hes breech as im only small myself! I think I will go for the csection if offered cause ive heard its not as bad as it sounds except i dont want a massive scar! Im hoping he turns naturally!

Thankyou all for your comments! & congratulations on your babies

Just give it a little more time, he might still turn on his own!

Chances are you will feel a weird loop-de-loop feeling when he shifts (if you're awake to feel it. Another good way is to see where you feel kicks. I'm never very good about telling what body part is where (unless its the bum, I can always tell where the bum is...LOL) , but my husband is awesome at it. With my first baby if I was ever concerned I would have my husband feel around to see what he could feel. If you have someone do this, they REALLY have to poke at you, but generally my husband said its really easy to feel where the feet are because they are smaller and are generally right next to each other.

If baby doesn't turn there are 2 options:
1) If your placenta is in a good place to do it, they can turn the baby manually from the outside. The danger with this procedure is placental abruption (meaning they accidentally tear the placenta away from the uterine wall.) This can mean hemmorhaging for you and that the baby doesn't get as much oxygen as they should. However, a lot of women have it done with no problems and would choose it over option 2 if they have it as an option.
2) C-section- the downside, its major surgery and you have to recover from it. If this ends up being the case, just try to make sure you have a good support system to surround you and help you with the baby and with yourself. Some women are back on their feet pretty quickly, others- not so much. It depends on what your pain tolerance is and how fast you heal from things like colds, cuts, bruises, etc normally.

Don't worry too much. There is still time for baby to shift and if he doesn't the doctors know what to do to get him here safely.

Good luck! Sending prayers and good vibes your way!

Thanks everyone! Luckily he has turned and getting prepared for labour!! Getting impatient now, 27 days to gooooo!
