hi, just wondered if anyone knew if you can tell if your babies breech? had a midwifes appt today and she wrote in my notes that baby was 'ceph' but as i keep getting a pain in my stomach she sent me to hospital for a check up and when the midwife there checked me she said baby was breech! i asked her if she was sure but she said 'yes thats definitly a head'!! wouldnt my midwife of been able to tell?(although the other midwife did examine me for longer). does anyone know any tell tale signs that babys breech??

I knew from about 30 weeks on that Sam was the right way up because I had a foot that was always sticking out and moving around just below my ribs on the right. Not sure how else you would know without an examination though x

Hi hun

Not sure I can help but our baby was breech at 20 week scan but the sonographer said not to worry as babies move all the time.

I had my 26 week mw appointment last week and she felt and said it had moved which I thought it had as had a proper little alien moment with my belly a couple of days before. But before that I knew I was breech because i could feel constant kicking in lower abdomen which went for a while and spread out to the sides after baby moved but still the mw said to me really not to worry as baby moves all the time and that they don't worry about babies being breech until you are 36 weeks and at that point if you are still breech they will try and turn baby.

So don't worry chick! xx

I wish I knew! I still feel my baby all over the place every day - tummy button, ribs, lady bits.

At 28 weeks I was told that he's lying across my tummy but at 21 weeks he was head down and at 22 weeks he was bum down (little monkey!). Hope he moves to the right place in time!

MW said they don't worry until 36 weeks if that's any help hun

My baby was breech at my 30-week ultrasound, but I know that she is still swimming around quite a bit. When I had my nonstress test on Monday, she even was doing flips during the test and they had to find where she was again! I have another ultrasound Friday (34 weeks), so I'm curious to see how she is then. My doc also said that babies usually don't "settle in" until 36 weeks.

I was told my baby is breech today. The midwife showed me where to feel, just below my right ribs I can feel something very hard, like a little ball, apparently, that´s his head XX

where abouts do you feel your kicks??

i really don't know hun. i never really know what movement is coming from where. i had the midwife round today and she was saying to me 'oooh i can feel a lovely little foot here' and the student midwife said the same. when i put my hand on the area i just felt something hard! i struggle to know where movments are coming from in terms of legs/arms and i get lots of movements and bits sticking out.

the reason i know my baby is cephalic is cos when he/she gets hiccups i feel it really low down - otherwise i would be clueless.

i hope you get this sorted out.
