Most do turn around at sometime during the pregnancy, but when they turn around is subject to chance, as far as we can tell. This is the process of turning the baby by pushing on your belly to get it to turn around. That can be very uncomfortable, but is sometimes the only way to avoid the higher risk cesarean birth. It can be done with or without sedation or medications to decrease contractions. Sometimes it is attempted with an epidural.
Risks can include fetal distress requiring an emergency cesarean, labor or ruptured membranes.
If the baby stays breech, most doctors would suggest a cesarean birth. Find out here.
