baby still breech

Hi I just turned 38 weeks n my baby hasn't turned head down. And my due date is on 2-21-13. But my Dr gave me a date when I'm getting a c section which is on 2-15-13. But he told me I have til then to see if he has finally turned. Please help. Any ideas to make him move down. I really wanna have him natural.  

There is still time, some babies don't flip until in labor...my first didn't.

My daughter was breech my entire pregnancy. I went in to try and turn her (look up turning baby on youtube) but she didnt even move her finger. It was nothing the doc tried turning her for a minute and gave up. They know right away if baby will turn or not. I didnt want a c- sec but i couldnt say no cuz she had no space. I have bicornuate uterus. If i were you id give the turning a try. If u have no complications wait. C sections suck. Im glad i had one tho my daughters entire left side was bruised and purple cuz of lack of space. Good luck. Just remember at the end your baby is worth it all.

I've heard rocking back n forth on your hands and knees can turn baby...

Avoid slouching in seats, try to sit upright. Do a lot of kneeling on all fours with face to the floor. This can help gravity turn baby as the head is the heaviest part. You can also try a variant of this position by kneeling on the edge of you sofa, hands on the floor and head towards the floor.

You don't HAVE to have a csection, especially not that early.

Babies can be delivered breech and CAN turn even a few days before their due date. You can wait until your actual due date to see if LO turns. Heck, you can wait until you go into labor first, they can still perform a csection them as a last resort.

I'd mess someone up if they TOLD me when I'd have a csection. It wasn't ever an option unless there were complications. I even planned on delivering my baby if she happened to flip to breech.

A lot of drs push csection because they get more money off from it!!! You don't have to listen to them...they can't MAKE you do it!

If baby hasn't turned breech trial labour would be a good idea as suggested above. The reason why c-secs have become the norm is due to the HOOP trial-a which was a load of rubbish. If you have birthed naturally before you know a head can pass through your pelvis, therefore there is a good chance you can birth naturally providing the baby is in a good position (Frank breech is optimal) this is when the babies bottom is sitting in the pelvic brim and both legs are up towards babies head.

The HOOP trial is very flawed research and worthwhile taking a look at.

Good luck and just remember, even if he doesn't turn by then doesn't mean you have to do the csection! They can't make you do that, it's up to you!

Yea I know but my Dr doesn't wanna wait til my due date. If my baby doesn't turn before my c section day. I have no other choice.

If your pregnancy is healthy NO ONE can force you to have a c-section.

Ask the doctor to try and manually turn your baby... ask him if that is even an option.
