Guest guest Posted January 26, 2002 Report Share Posted January 26, 2002 Oh, gosh, Beck. I'm glad you all are okay. How scary, though. Did the doctors attempt to turn the baby around? I have heard that they can "reach" up (sorry) and turn the baby. Probably as uncomfortable as it sounds, but I've heard that that is a way. My son, , wasn't breech, but his face was what they called "sunny side up" instead of facing my spine like he should have been. They tried to turn him several times, but to no avail. I ended up pushing for four hours because he was stuck in the birth canal (could have been the cause for the tort and plagio?). They almost did a c-section but had success with the forceps at the last minute. Hopefully you have enough time left in your pregnancy for the baby to resituate him or herself. Other than a c-section at birth, I'm not sure what other options there are if he or she doesn't turn again. I'm not sure if they let babies be born breech anymore. That sucks, Beck!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2002 Report Share Posted January 26, 2002 Unless times have changed, they will try and turn the baby. I had a close friend go through this and they tried to turn him without luck. She had a c-section before her due date. The doctor didn't want to risk her going into labor with the baby in the breech position. Like someone else said, it sure is possible that the baby will turn on his own. Good luck!!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2002 Report Share Posted January 26, 2002 Beck, Glad you are all ok. I just read your post before I had to go in to work. Babies have a mind of their own. They can turn at the last minute. We have had pts. scheduled for a c-section and the baby turned right before the section. Very experienced obstetricians can turn a baby , it's called a version. Of course they're are some risks involved that your OB would go over with you. Their are breech deliveries that are done but it depends on the OB and their comfort level. I had a c-section for fetal distress and it was a piece of cake. As a L & D nurse I'm a firm believer in doing what's best for the pt and baby? hope this helps, What has your OB said? sara(logan's mom) okla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 OMG Beck - I'm so glad everything is ok now. How scary. I don't know much about breech babies, but I've seen a million Baby Story's on TLC where the Dr. is somehow able to turn the baby by massaging the mommy's belly. Take it easy for a while.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2002 Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 Beck, Holy smokes! I'm so glad that eveyone seems to be OK. Sorry about baby number 2 - I wish I could help, but I don't know anything about breech issues. I'm positive someone here will be able to help though!!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Kellie and Beck, You know, my son , was also stuck in the birth canal for 2 hrs. 15 min. then was finally delivered with the "help" of forceps and suction!!!!! He was not breech or sunny-side-up. He also was diagnosed with tort and plagio!!!!!!!!!!! Just something to think about!!!!!! AnnMarie Re: OFF TOPIC- breech Oh, gosh, Beck. I'm glad you all are okay.
