She turned around throughout the whole pregnancy, including transverse. Head down at 37, flipped breech again at 38 weeks. She stayed that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-baby-keeps-flipping-breach#post-2452924 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 17:28:22 +0000 MrsSRS 2452924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once he's head down spend as much time as you can in a squat. I would squat when playing with LO, squat every time I needed to pick something up, etc. It helps open up the pelvis and encourage baby to drop and engage and stay put! And I don't mean squat like doing squats at the gym, I mean squat like a frog...or like a toddler trying to be stealthy about pooping :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-baby-keeps-flipping-breach#post-2452880 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 16:05:38 +0000 mrsrain 2452880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: yeah, I need to try some of the positions! I'm just stressing because i do NOT want to end up with a section! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-baby-keeps-flipping-breach#post-2452867 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 15:53:26 +0000 Kemma 2452867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you checked out SpinningBabies.com? I'm not sure you can stop baby flipping at this point in the game but you can certainly encourage baby to stay cephalic by maintaining good posture and sitting correctly. I did lots of crawling and sitting on my Swiss ball to help get my guy into a good position! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-pregnancy-baby-keeps-flipping-breach#post-2452844 Sun, 07 Feb 2016 15:24:01 +0000 mrsrain 2452844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has this happened to anyone else? I have a 20 month old and am 33 weeks pregnant. Held was transverse for a long time, and flipped head-down on time for my 32 week checkup. Since then he continues to flip! I can tell because of where he kicks and where I feel his hiccups. Currently he is head-down again, but I'm worried that he isn't staying that way.</p> <p>If you had a fickle baby did they eventually stay head-down? At how many weeks? Did you do anything to encourage that position? </p>
