Tastic they have the scan even if they are born via c/s. The scan is nothing anyway, just an ultrasound on their hips, nothing scary.

Hi, I don't have experience of breech birth - babe #5 was breech at 37/38 weeks, was booked in for external version - mw turned babe using moxibustion - was transverse when we headed to hosp, head down by the time we got there (3 hours) so didn't need turning. She was 10lb born so not a little thing to turn. I think I also took homeopathic pulsatilla 200 to encourage turning too. Low iron levels are often indicated in non-ideal presentations. Good luck & hopefully your babe gets in a better position, so your worries will go.]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:11:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29477&PID=814335&title=breech-natural-birth#814335 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29477&PID=814218&title=breech-natural-birth#814218 Author: Tastic

I had a natural breech birth of my first. He surprised the midwife with a foot and balls during my internal and i was already 10cm. He was footling(?) breech which is spose to be really dangerous and was coming too fast so they couldnt get me to the theatre for a c-sect so the specialist guy ended up cutting me and finding the other foot. His apgar was 3 at 1 min but was 8 for the 2nd one. There was a lot of stitches which werent pleasant. I dont think you would be allowed to birth naturally if baby is presenting the same way mine was tho.]]> Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:50:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29477&PID=812862&title=breech-natural-birth#812862 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29477&PID=812859&title=breech-natural-birth#812859 Author: CuriousG

My MIL had a breech birth back in her day. No problems whatsoever. There are people out there who have them all the time - if you are that concerned, stick to your guns about it. The only thing you do need to worry about is your previous CS but I am not sure how much of an impact that is.]]> Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:49:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29477&PID=812859&title=breech-natural-birth#812859 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29477&PID=812853&title=breech-natural-birth#812853 Author: Andriea

Yep im trying all the ways to turn baby, I do have faith that she will turn back as a week ago she was head down, yesterday morning she was oblique/transverse and by seeing the ob/scan yesterday avo she was complete breech.

My midwife is happy to assist me in having a natural birth, but does want me to discuss it and get opinion of ob today.

monikah - thats great about your friend, thanks for the info]]> Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:43:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29477&PID=812853&title=breech-natural-birth#812853 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29477&PID=812841&title=breech-natural-birth#812841 Author: monikah

Spencer was breech and they kind of gave me the option to birth breech and then came back and said no cos he was my first. The OB said though that current research shows that birthing a breech baby is no more dangerous than having a c/s and had he had been my second and they knew I could birth naturally they would have advised to not go the c/s route.

You could try acupuncture I've heard some success stories from that for turning babies and doing downward dog (the yoga move) is good for giving baby extra room to turn.]]> Wed, 21 Oct 2009 08:12:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29477&PID=812824&title=breech-natural-birth#812824 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29477&PID=812812&title=breech-natural-birth#812812 Author: AandCsmum

Hiya,

just wanting to know if anyone has had a successful natural breech birth, if you did how did it go? Was it assisted? How big was your baby? etc. Any information at all would be great.

Im currently 37+ weeks and baby is a complete breech , ECV is not an option for us due to previous c-sec with DD#1. I have had 4 normal births since that c-sec 2 of which the babies were over 10lb. This one is now expected to be around 8lb at term.

Am seeing ob today and have been told that a natural breech birth may be an option as Im quite worried about a c-sec, but in saying that Im just as worried about a natural breech birth to.

So any experiences good and not so good would be appreciated.]]> Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:47:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29477&PID=812802&title=breech-natural-birth#812802
