My baby is frank breech. She has been wadded up under my right ribs for WEEKS and she doesn't move a whole lot, just occasional squirming and stretching, not so much rolling or turning. (I'm 36.5 weeks, btw.) I'm scheduled to have an external version on Friday to try to get her turned the right way...
However, I'm very concerned. Recently I've been told and have read that a baby being breech "is not normal." That babies are breech for a reason, whether it be a cord issue or a developmental issue or something else. Now I'm worried to death about my baby and why she may be breech.
I thought breech babies were fairly common, but apparently only 4% are breech at term. For those of you that had breech babies, did anything end up being wrong with them after they were born? Or have any of you heard about babies being breech being a "bad" thing?
