Anyone find out that there baby went into breech position and now might be getting scheduled for a c-section if the baby don’t move back into place. I just found out today and I’ve been looking and getting things for a vaginal birth and now I feel lost no one really talks about c-sections or how to heal from them.

Baby's Getting Into Position
Baby's Getting Into Position
As you approach your due date, your baby is busy preparing for the big day by settling into the proper position for birth.
In most cases, babies will position themselves head-down, which is the ideal position for a smooth delivery. Let's explore this exciting phase of your pregnancy and the amazing new skills your little one is developing.
Head-Down Position: Getting Ready for Birth 🌟💕
Your baby is now making the journey toward your body's nearest exit, positioning themselves head-down in preparation for birth.
This positioning, known as "cephalic" or "vertex" presentation, is the most common and optimal for a vaginal delivery.
As your baby moves into this position, you may feel increased pressure on your pelvis and lower abdomen, which is a sign that your little one is getting ready to make their entrance into the world.
Developing Essential Skills 🌟👀
Even before birth, your baby is already mastering some essential skills to thrive in the outside world. Here are a few remarkable tricks your little one is working on:
- Blinking: In the real world, blinking becomes necessary to keep foreign objects out of the eyes, and your baby is already practicing this reflex in the womb.
- Coughing: Your baby is practicing coughing movements, which will become essential after birth to clear any mucus or amniotic fluid from their airways.
- Sucking: Your baby's sucking reflex is getting stronger, which is vital for nursing or bottle-feeding after birth.
- Hiccupping: You may feel your baby's hiccups in the womb as they practice the diaphragm muscles, a perfectly normal occurrence during pregnancy.
- Breathing Practice: Your baby's lungs are maturing, and they are practicing breathing movements, preparing for their first breath after birth.
Your Baby's Unique Journey 🌈🚼
As you marvel at your baby's development and anticipate their arrival, remember that every baby's journey is unique.
Your little one is growing and developing at their own pace, and their individuality will shine through in their personality and development after birth.
Cherish these precious moments of bonding with your baby before they enter the world.

I'm still having pelvic pressure, no contractions, and no water breakage. My hubby says I shouldn't need to go to L&D again unless contractions or water breakage happens. My guess is she is getting into position 🤷 I was induced because my son didn't want to so this is all new to me.
Kristen
I know what you mean. My first I went in earlier than necessary because I was told it was contractions and it was I just could’ve held off a while longer. My second I was ten centimeters when I got to the hospital and this baby I keep thinking it’s close to time and feeling contractions but then they stop after a while. Lots of pressure low though lots

yeah, with my son I didn't even get to experience the natural part because I was almost 1 week over my due date and they didn't want me going further because they thought I had a small pelvis. I didn't have Braxton Hicks, pelvic pressure, nothing with him.
So I'm like is this labor?

Ladies who’s babies have flipped! When you bend over or squat/bend do you feel pressure in your butthole and lower belly? I don’t think she has but I’m starting to get an uncomfortable feeling in my butthole so idk if it’s her getting into position or me having to possible poop because I already did this morning so idk.
Valerie
When do they usually turn?? I’ll be in my last trimester in a couple weeks
