But he was breech the entire time and his head was in the 100th percentile! </p> <p>DS2 was breech at the anatomy scan, but turned head down somtime in the third tri? I have no idea when. But I had a RCS with him at 39 weeks and he was head down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332470 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 09:51:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 2332470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: I think I can feel her better because she seems so far forward in my belly. I literally try to push her back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332444 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 09:06:56 +0000 MamaBear87 2332444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Head down between 24-28 weeks. Still there at 39+6.</p> <p>ETA: I didn't ever feel her flip so baby could surprise you and already be head down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332367 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 06:10:39 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2332367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Securely head down at 32 weeks. But without the sonos I wouldn't have known. I can't feel the difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332362 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 05:47:54 +0000 hitchhiker 2332362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first never turned on her own. Like @stratosphere, I tried almost everything. Inversions off the couch, spinning babies, acupuncture. Nothing worked until a successful external version at about 38 weeks. The version was scary but in the end I had the birth experience I really wanted. And a very healthy (if stubborn) baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332354 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 03:35:17 +0000 travellingbee 2332354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO one was always down since 20 weeks but this one, I'm 30 weeks and he's still all over the place. :( so same boat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332353 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 03:26:38 +0000 FannyMae 2332353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>babe has been head down since about 24 weeks, and at 35 weeks is quite low in my pelvis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332349 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 02:18:41 +0000 Pumuckl 2332349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>28w with LO1.<br /> Like yours my LO2 was all over the place until 34w or so. She turned out to be significantly smaller than LO1 so she just had lots more room to move. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332342 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 01:05:48 +0000 stratosphere 2332342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO never turned on her own. I did everything you can do at home (inversions, frozen peas on her head and hot compress on my low belly, flashlight on my low belly, burning moxa by my pinky toes, laying upside down on an ironing board propped on our couch...) from 34-37 weeks and no dice. </p> <p>I had an external cephalic version at 37+0 and baby did successfully turn during the version. But my water broke and placenta abrupted at the same time, so I ended up with an emergency c-section then and there! So much for trying everything to AVOID a c-section!! In the end it was a great birth experience and pretty easy recovery. </p> <p>Good luck and I hope your baby flips and is less stubborn than mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332338 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 00:20:33 +0000 autumnlove 2332338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 1 turned during the last month of my pregnancy.</p> <p>LO 2 never turned but I had a RCS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332337 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 00:17:47 +0000 sapphire 2332337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was always head down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332319 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 23:10:37 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2332319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was head down by 20 weeks and stayed that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332313 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 22:59:25 +0000 Torchwood 2332313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early, like 24 weeks-ish, both times. They both stayed in the exact same position (head down with back along right side and butt jammed in my ribs) the whole time. My cousin just had an ultrasound at 32 weeks that showed her daughter finally flipped in the last week or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332310 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 22:39:50 +0000 birdofafeather 2332310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>somewhere between 24 and 28 weeks for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332282 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 21:56:35 +0000 rosegold 2332282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: 32 weeks! he was all over the place for a bit. lots of 'polar bear' pose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-turn-head-down#post-2332280 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 21:54:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 2332280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did your baby turn head down and stay there? </p> <p>Last time I know C did it pretty early and I could feel her position, so I never worried about it. 32 weeks with my second and she is still all over the place and definitely not vertical. Last night I'm pretty sure I felt a head and butt directly horizontal. My next midwife appt is next week so I will ask then, but curious how it went for others. Or if they didn't turn head down on their own, what happened? Did you do acupuncture, spinning babies, to encourage it? </p> <p>Did a forward inversion on the couch tonight so by the morning she should be right in position right? :wink: </p>
