My daughter was breech until she turned round all by herself at 36+3, the night before she was born. So thay can turn round pretty late on by themselves. And what did I do to help, nothing. At the time I was flat on ym back unable to move much because I was hooked up to monitors.

I wanted to make you all aware that breech babies are more at risk of a condition called DDH which affects the development of the hips. It can be treated effectively, but the earlier it is caught, the easier and more effective the treatment. So please make sure if your little one is breech, that they have a scan to check their hips. The method of delivery isn't important, it's the breech position.

I absolutely agree, thanks for posting about that Cazzyg. My daughter was born breech naturally and she had DDH (Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip). She's now a absolutely fine 5 year old and you'd never know she ever had a problem x

Hey everyone

Just been told at my 34 week appt that my LO is breech despite having been head down throughout the rest of the pregnancy.

Are they still at risk of DDH if they are only breech for a short while?
