Breech baby at 28w.. will he turn??

suzan · Sep 22nd, 2008, 17:19 PM

Anyone experienced breech babies at 28w and eventually they turned? I know there is a lot of time, just thought of asking

My LO was head down at 28wks and then was breech at 32wks. There is plenty of time yet hun. My midwife is seeing me again at 36 wks as that is when she said that decisions need to be made. My son suddenly turned breech and back again at 36 wks though.

If you look at Ann-maries posts. her Mia was breech up until 36 (i think) and she turned. SO there is still plenty of time

They definately still can turn after 28w, the doctors usually dont start getting concerned here until 34w.

My LO was breech at 33 weeks i think it was and turned by 36 weeks so loads of times to turn yet

Thanks girls!

Plenty of time Suzan, don't worry. At 28 weeks your baby has loads of room to turn somersaults and stuff. Babies can turn to head down quite late - even as much as a couple of weeks before birth (and if they are still breech late on, the doctors can try and turn them). It is more unusual for a head down baby to go to being a breech baby later on as the head weighs more.

I am sure everything will be fine.

my friend's baby turned the day before she was scheduled for a c-section. 39 weeks I think. He turned by himself too

There's plenty of time for your l/o to turn yet. Has your midwife expressed any concern?x
