I haven't noticed any of that, so there's that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-470931 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 12:30:28 +0000 photojane 470931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: I totally get the paranoia! The midwife assured me that if this point the baby flips, you'll definitely know. And, to ease your worries... at this point, I can definitely tell she's breech - there's no question. The head in the ribs is no joke! You would know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-470925 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 12:25:30 +0000 ladyfingers 470925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I've been feeling hiccups down low ever since he turned head down at 29 weeks, so I just kind of figured there was a correlation. I would feel them up high at the same time, since his whole body was heaving, but yesterday I ONLY felt them up high, so idk. Anyway, good to know :) I'm just getting paranoid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-470904 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 12:15:03 +0000 photojane 470904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I don't think that hiccups is necessarily an indication of where baby's head is! Baby girl is breech, and I have always felt hiccups low. I think I'm just feeling her little body &amp; feet vibrate against my pelvic bone with each hiccup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-470901 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 12:13:56 +0000 MamaMoose 470901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: right around that time I also thought I felt hiccups up high. But baby stayed head down the whole time... So I wouldn't worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-470891 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 12:07:02 +0000 ladyfingers 470891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I felt hiccups down near my butt again this morning so idk what's going on in there. I'll just wait until my next doctor's appointment and see where they find the heartbeat ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-469978 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:52:24 +0000 creativemomma15 469978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son turned somewhere between 35 and 36 weeks into a breech position. I never had any one moment that was him turning, but I think he did it gradually because I would get a lot of pain and pressure like he was pushing into one side of my stomach almost like he was trying to push himself out. I had these pains a lot over the last week and I think it was him just shifting around. I'm not completely sure though. My water broke at 36 weeks right when I woke up that morning and I think he might have made one last move/shift and it broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-469970 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:39:49 +0000 BananaPancakes 469970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine flipped at 35 weeks. There was no mistaking it. My husband even knew it because we saw it happen. I didn't realize he was breech, but I sure knew he had drastically changed his position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-469969 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 13:37:33 +0000 lemondrop 469969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience with flipping, but I could very easily feel his butt next to my ribs for much off the 3rd tri. When he kicked up, it would knock the air outta me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-469920 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 12:40:50 +0000 Grace 469920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My littlest sister flipped a few weeks before she was due and my mom said that there was no mistaking it. You could see her belly change shape as the baby flipped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-469907 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 12:25:49 +0000 swedishfish 469907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 15 weeks along but my MIL loves to tell the story of my BIL's arrival. She was sitting on the couch watching TV on her due date and all of a sudden saw/felt my BIL flip in her belly into a breech position. He then kicked his foot out. I didn't believe the story at first (because I didn't think a baby could flip into a breech position so quickly that late) but other family members verified it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-469901 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 12:18:38 +0000 ladyfingers 469901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BelugaBean: Yeah I mean, I kind of figured that something the size of a honeydew in my belly, flipping completely around (his head was in the lower right and based on where the hiccups are it would need to be in the upper right if he'd flipped), would have... idk, woken me up or something. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-469890 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 12:08:40 +0000 BelugaBean 469890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby was head down from like 20 weeks on so I'm not speaking from experience and hopefully someone else can give you a better answer.</p> <p>But my doctor once asked me if I thought the baby was still head down and I said I didn't know, but I thought so. She told me that later in pregnancy, if the baby flips, you can definitely feel it. She said her baby flipped once and it hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-turning-from-head-down-to-breech-at-35-weeks#post-469885 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 12:04:40 +0000 ladyfingers 469885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been head-down since at least 29 weeks. I'm 35 weeks tomorrow, and this morning it seems like I'm feeling hiccups up by my boob instead of down low like usual. As of last night, he still felt head down (I could feel the knot moving around low by my pelvis). </p> <p>I know it's possible, and I have an appointment on Wednesday so I can find out for sure (the doctor can always feel where his head is and has me feel too, it's really obvious). But I'm curious, for those of you where the baby turned breech late, did you feel him flip? I feel like, at 5 pounds, it'd be pretty unmistakable. And did they turn back head down at that point, or was it just a lost cause once they got so big?</p> <p>Just curious even though I'm not 100% sure what's going on right now. </p>
