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. Watch this if baby's meals end with thrown food. Learn about a potentially lifesaving new vaccine. You should not rely on this information as a substitute for personal medical attention, diagnosis or hands-on treatment. If you are concerned about your health or that of a child's, please consult your family's health care provider immediately and do not wait for a response from our professionals.
