Baby boy is currently hanging out in the breech position. Not a huge deal since I'm 19 weeks along and he has a ton of time to flip. My midwife said that 99% of breech babies flip on their own before birth, so not to worry about it right now. I was just wondering on when they like to make that flip! I love feeling him move, but the kicks to the cervix are getting just a wee bit old! So when did your breech baby make the move?

I want more people to answer this poll. I am at 26 weeks and that is plenty of time for her to flip, but I am still wondering at what point I should be concerned...

@NeekieRose: I hope she makes her flip soon so you won't have to be concerned!!
And yes, more votes please!!!

Baby was breech until about 24 weeks, then transverse (sideways) until about 30. She's been firmly head-down since then. If she hadn't flipped by about 32 weeks, the midwife talked about the 'Spinning Babies' book and website - I guess there are some tips and tricks to help flip a breech baby.

Miss A flipped breech at 35ish weeks and was turned Cephalic by ECV at 38ish weeks.

30 Week appointment - internal check - still sitting upright in my stomach
32 Week appointment - no internal - doc could feel her head under my rib cage area
34 week appointment - internal check - doc said "cervix is totally thin and I can feel her head right there"I never felt the movement - though a few people did comment that I "dropped" in those weeks between 32-34.

bumping this as i was just told baby is breech at 24w. not worried, but curious as DD1 was head down the whole time as far as i was told!

2 breech babies and neither ever flipped. Both were firmly wedged in butt down and never moved.

My second baby was breeched. He was head down till about 20 weeks ... I totally felt him flip and he never flipped back. I had a successful inversion right before my planned c-section (due to the breech position) which the quickly induced my labor so I can give birth vaginally but I then had an emergency c-section for other reasons.
I was really fearful of the c-section but that part wasn't bad at all.
I hope your baby flips! I just wanted to let you know that it's not the end of the world if your baby doesn't flip back.

@birdofafeather: same! Ds1 was always heads down, found out at 19 wks ds2 was head down but didn't worry since it was so early. Once the movements picked up I knew he was head down due to hiccups but there were times I thought he may be transverse. At 36 wks I had my first cervical check and confirmed he was head down although i think my on knew that prior to that day. Good luck!!
