Beech baby...looking detailed post.

I've been trying to remain hopeful, optimistic and calm in front of hubby but since my Dr visits yesterday I'm a little antsy in the inside. My Dr told me that at 34 weeks baby girl is breech and is not a HUGE concern at this point but if she's not turned by next week they will "discuss my options" I've never experienced a breech baby this far along. My previous 3 turned and stayed had down very early and one has even dropped by this point. I know around 37wks they try to turn baby manually if it's breech but 1. I usually don't go past 37 weeks so that makes me nervous.
2. IK that turning manually can risk placenta separation or umbilical cord damage.
So I'm kinda against trying that and more confidant in just having a C if needed. Whereas my husband is more comfortable with the manual turning than me having a C section. IK those risks are low with all the monitoring they use during the manual turning process but what freaks me out about it is that I'm constantly in the "exception to every rule" category when it comes to my female parts. EX:Bc pills didn't work for me. Mirena caused vaginal pains and back passions that my doc thought were highly unlikely and she eventually agreed that I should remove it. My first 3 pregnancies were great, all the annoying symptoms (save stuffy nose) were non existent. My labors& deliveries were all natural, fast, and only the last one was painful. The first was down right painless, I didn't even know I was having contractions until about an hour after my water broke and they hooked me up to the monitor at the hospital. My breast milk with my first came so early I could literally shoot a stream of milk (not colostrum) MILK across the room and squirting my hubby in the ear/face at 26wks. Last l&d my labor contractions never got down to 3 to 5 min apart they stayed sporadic. I finally went to the Dr after 12 hours and was 6cm and 100% thinned. My Dr calls me "the exception" so for these reasons I'm just like I don't want to be a rare case or exception when it comes to the risks of manually turning. Had anyone been through this? How did it turn out for you? Has anyone got their breech baby to turn naturally, how?

I went to a chiropractor who does Webster's technique. It opens and aligns the hips to give the baby space. I'm not sure if that's why, but he turned at 36 weeks. My doctor said he probably would have turned anyway, but supported me going. If nothing else, my hips felt great. I went 3 times, twice before he turned, and once after, because I already had the appointment.

I would avoid the manual turning. My doctor said it often results in emergency c section, and its better to have a planned c section than an emergency one. In my case, though, I had an anterior placenta, so the risk of separation was super high.

Thanks!

I was beginning to think the post was somehow deleted.

There are also options of some specific exercises and acupuncture besides the manual turning. Also, if I were in your position, I would schedule the manual turning a day or two before doctors suggested c section date. That way, I withhold be prepared to receive the baby, and if he/she turns, I can cancle the c section. Plus they monitor you and the baby the whole time.

Thanks I'll look into that!
