Still loads of time yet. My second was breech until about 33/34 weeks when he turned, and my friend was 38 weeks when her son finally got into the right position.

You can google spinning babies, it gives you positions to get yourself in that give baby more room to manoeuvre round xx

Mine was breech all the way through. I refused them getting to turn her, heard its horrendously painful and is rarely successful.

Had an elective c section. Loved it. No problems with incontinence etc due to giving birth naturally. I know it doesn't happen to everyone but i really didn't fancy risking it

No we dont want to risk it but coz shes been breech for quite a while they said only a slim chance she could turn

they don’t normally worry until at least 36 weeks you have plenty of time, my daughter turned at 38 weeks (lying upside down on the sofa with my legs over the back and a bag of peas on her head worked wonders). I went on to have her naturally. My son was turned was uncomfortable but no so bad really. Try not to worry it will all be fine. Fingers crossed your baby turns soon so you can stop worrying.

Not what you're looking for?
