    ARGH!

    Just back from a BPP and they are both still breech. I really want a VBAC, or at least the opportunity to try! So, here's what I'm doing:

    -Acupuncture with Moxa
    -Homeopathic pulsatilla
    -Chiropractic using the Webster technique
    -Inversions as outlined on www.spinningbabies.com
    -flashlight and music

    I've only started these in the past week, but will keep them up for at least another 1-2 weeks, and then will work on accepting a planned c-section.

    Any other words of advice or suggestions?

    My girls turned 4 days before they were born - they were born at 38weeks 4 days so they turned at 38 weeks - they were 6.8 and 6.9 pounds so they were good size! We scheduled a c-section months before they were born and at 36 weeks it was found that both were heads down! so my dr told me that instead of a c-section I could be induced if they stayed that way! we all thought they would since it was so late in the game! NOPE! I was checked at exactly 38 weeks and they had turned to breech (baby A) and transverse. and were the same the morning of my scheduled delivery so c-section it was! Just because you are 32 weeks doesn't mean they won't turn - they may! good luck!!!

    You've got plenty of time for them to turn. I think mine turned around 36 weeks. I had a c-section for other reasons, but they were vertex.

    Im at 35 weeks and these babies are still turning. They have been in a different position each scan!!! Our last scan showed them both breech. Baby A turned a couple of days later to vertex and I'm pretty certain that it turned back to breech last night while watching big bang theory!! Not a pleasant feeling but they obviously still have room to move. I'm hoping to delivery without c/s but like you it might be a case of see what happens on the day. Good Luck

    Mine had flipped every 2 weeks at our ultrasounds - you have plenty of time still. I delivered at 39weeks.

    My Baby B was still flipping around during my 37th week! I made it to 38 weeks for a scheduled section!

    Good luck!

    Thanks everyone! It's great to hear that they can still flip....the OB's I've seen haven't been very hopeful. :(

    Hi I am 33 weeks as well, last week Baby A was head down. The week before breech, and for 30 weeks before that head down. At 31 weeks when the baby turned breech, I asked what the chances were that he would turn, they said not good....here I am 33 weeks, unless he changed from Thursday baby A is head down... but I don't know. I think we have time. The hardest part is not having a plan, when I found out I was pregnant with twins, for some reason I thought it would be more planned out than my other two deliveries. But nope, if anything it is worse because I am so big I feel like I could just give birth at any minute. If mine turn breech I will try some of the methods that you are, so please update:)

    Thanks!

    I dunno, but mine turned in between my 31 and 35 week ultrasounds... and at this point, I can't remember which WAY they turned, since I had a c-section anyway! But it's definitely still possible, so don't listen to anyone who says it's too late, or there isn't enough room!

    Good luck!
