I will say that the scheduled c-section was a positive experience in the end. I was able to prepare and research so I knew what to expect which went a long way towards making me feel better about it and ultimately probably helped me have a really easy recovery. Best of luck to you! Feel free to wall me if you have other questions.

At the last two prenatal appointments, so 34 and 32 the dr said baby was head down. I don't ever remember feeling baby move. @JennyPenny: How did everything turn out with your little one? californiadreams on "If your baby flipped from head down to breech late in the game, did they flip back?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-flipped-from-head-down-to-breech-late-in-the-game-did-they-flip-back#post-2718898 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 21:04:17 +0000 californiadreams 2718898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mine flipped a few times in the last few weeks. It was nerve wracking. He was head down on labour day. I saw a chiropractor and the first time he flipped we thought it was because of her, but then it seemed random.

So I can imagine an ECV is probably at least a step up. But my plan is still to try it if I can/need to. I *think* I may have flipped him though...😬 Mrs. Pen on "If your baby flipped from head down to breech late in the game, did they flip back?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-flipped-from-head-down-to-breech-late-in-the-game-did-they-flip-back#post-2718867 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 16:25:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2718867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @MissLace: they gave me two medications- a muscle relaxant and fentanyl (pain med). It was painful, not as bad as being in labor- but I did have to do deep breathing to get through it and it was extremely uncomfortable. The meds definitely helped. I definitely think it's worth a shot and given the chance, I still would have at least tried! Good luck and hope your baby flips!

Same deal here, baby was head down for weeks and at my 36 week appointment moved to transverse. I have an appt on tuesday to do an ultrasound and discuss ECV vs C-section.

I did a full week of spinning babies, and the OB tried ECV, and both were unsuccessful. I was so disappointed.

I didn't do anything to try to flip her though, so I can't vouch for that.

Baby flipped at 35 weeks and remained breech. ocean81 on "If your baby flipped from head down to breech late in the game, did they flip back?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-flipped-from-head-down-to-breech-late-in-the-game-did-they-flip-back#post-2718572 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 18:00:59 +0000 ocean81 2718572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My daughter went breech somewhere between 38 and 39 weeks. We found out at my 39 week appt so she didn't flip back, but there wasn't enough time to see if she would do it on her own. I hope your baby flips on his own!

Baby flipped back. It was after I did a bunch of different stuff, including acupuncture and all the stuff that Spinning Babies had recommended. But I honestly think that he was just a wiggler and would have done it naturally. My OB had guessed he would based on the fact that he had been head down at several prior visits and had just moved.

The doctor (who is not my regular OB) today said it was time to start talking about turning him, or scheduling a C-section, but I'm thinking that if he just flipped, he could do it again. So if you had a baby flip head down to breech shortly before due date, did they end up flipping back?
