giving birth

Will a doctor allow a baby to be born feet first or will that be a c-section?

I think I would rather have csection if she doesn't turn. I don't wanna have to worry anymore than I already do about her. I'm tough I can take the stitches

I'm 38 weeks nd my baby is still breech they tried to turn her manually at 37 weeks it was unsuccessful nd pretty painful.. my doctor said there happy for me to have a breech birth cause she is quite small and will pass through the birth canal easily but they will monitor me very very closely they did offer me a c-section but i rather try nd have her naturally.. it all depends on your doctor most doctors won't deliver a breech baby

My first was going to be breech until my midwife told me to get on all fours like a dog and relax my belly. Just let it all go. Sway back and forth and crawl around a little. Yea I looked rediculous but at my 38 week appt ur was heads down!!

True some doctors will deliver some breech babies but it's usually butt first breech. Feet first is dangerous because 1 foot might deliver but not the other then you have a real problem. I just had this come up at my last appt at 25 weeks because my guy was feet first & she said you need to get that booty or head down there.

It is possible to.have a vaginal birth when baby is breech. But from.what I understand most do c sections and baby can.be manually turned by Dr but some drs won't do it. My Dr told me if baby won't turn she will not turn him as it can hurt youand cause baby to get stuck

If you wanna have this baby normal or any other baby's normal you've got to flip the baby and if your not to far along it hurts a bit but if your more than 30 weeks it will be painful very

Most doctors will not allow feet first because it is more dangerous that way. It will be a c-section.
