Breech baby and measuring ahead.

Kimmer · Mar 15th, 2010, 16:29 PM

I was told at my 20 week scan baby is breech. I had a 4D scan on Saturday and she still is. Should i be worried yet?
I'm also getting worried about dates too. My 4D scan put her at 31+1 when I'm 29+1 now. According to their dates she's due on may 21st. They also said she weighs 3lbs 1oz. I know it's not accurate, but that seems big.
I'll talk it though with my midwife, I'm seeing her next week. just wondering if anyone can guide me a bit?
I have so many questions

Not sure about the breech but hope its turns for you. I wouldn't worry too much about measuring ahead. If they are concerned they will let you know and the scans are often out by quite a big weight difference

No, it's not even remotely a concern that baby is breech at your stage. They don't start paying attention to the position really until 35-37 weeks along, and even then baby can turn, all the way up to in labor! My baby is still breech/transverse at this point too so I've looked into it a lot and this is what I've learned about it. Some women have babies that are head down since very early and stay that way, others have babies that change positions frequently, etc... it's all very individual. The time to start considering the position and your choices with it is in the very last weeks.

My baby was breech at 20 week and at every midwife appointment that I have had. Finally at my 36 week scan he was head down.

Don't bother to worry about it at all until 36/37 weeks because that is when baby is MOST likely to turn - baby will start getting cramped and want to turn to maximize space and doesn't necessarily have any reason to turn before that.
