Hi Everyone
Ok so I am super paranoid by nature lol, and I was just looking at other peoples scan pictures and noticed that my baby faces the wrong way. Everyone elses seem to have their head on the right hand side of the pic and mine is on the left hand side. Does it matter? does this mean the baby might be breech? or can they just be on different sides? Thanks for your help MB |

I'm pretty positive it is totally fine..that bubs can be facing any which way depends on just which way it was lyng..mine is lying with head on the left too:) I worry by nature but i asked the tech and she said everything looked wonderful..so i didn't worry bout that one:) ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |

I'm going to guess and you are due March 2008, you have nothing to worry about. They have heaps of room to move that the moment so will go from left to right and to breach to head down while they have the room. You only need to worry once you are about to give birth. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I am no "professional" here, but going by our babies positions, it would be fine! I have had 4 scans and every scan the baby has been in a different position eg: lying head to left body to right at two scans, head to right body to left at another and footling breech at the last one at 24 weeks! I am sure its head down now, cause I can feel feet in my ribs and a head vibrating my girly bits, so they can definately move about freely till it gets a bit squishy in there! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

MummyBecks is right - they still have heaps of room for gymnastics in there, just because your baby was lying on the left for the scan doesn't mean he/she still is (and probably isn't :P) After 30 weeks or so it becomes a 'concern', but having said that, even after that they can still rotate spontaneously. :) ------------- Margo |

My gremlins were both footling breech at 28 weeks, and even with two of them in there both managed to turn cephalic by 32 weeks so your bub has plenty of room to move! And don't forget that way bubs appears can also depend on how the person doing the scan angles the probe etc. Some of my scan pics look like a skeleton graveyard with bones everywhere, yet at the same scan from a different angle you can see faces etc. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)
