Your favorite paranoid mom to be...

Hello everyone, I had my fetal assessment (NST) yesterday. Jakob's hearbeat is fine. He kicks up a storm whenever they tie that belt around to monitor him. Anyway, my concern this week is that when she did the ultrasound she said he had dropped, but that now he was feet down again. He had moved head down about 3 weeks ago and the doc said he would probably stay that way until the end. Is it unusual for the baby to move around that much? I am about 33 weeks and don't want to have any more reasons for earlier delivery, or more complications.

He's still got time to move.  My doc said she wouldn't worry about the baby being breech until after 35 weeks, then we'd talk about aversion to try and move her or c-section, etc. 

My girl was breech until around 34 weeks and she's been head down ever since.

I don't think his position would cause him to be delivered any earlier but it could make c-section neccessary if he doesn't move.  I bet he will, though.  Breech at full term is pretty uncommon when you look at the statistics.

Hey there! Don't worry at all ... there is plenty of time for the baby to turn again ... they can even turn at the last minute! :-) Also, there are lots of stretches and movements you can practice to get him where you need him to be. But, plenty of time for that.

Thanks guys! I think its the time where you just want everything to be just right and how often do things really go exactly according to plan with a baby? I'm trying to be more calm.

Like the other moms said, he has plenty of time to turn.  Elijah continued to flip up, down and sideways until he decided on his final position a week or so before delivery.
