Almost 26 weeks pregnant!!!!!!!!! When will my baby turn.......?

Question

I cant wait for my baby to be born. We know its a boy and its kicking alot.
At how many weeks will by baby turn its head downwards for a natural birth? Just want to know, because at my last scan at the doc it was sitting up straight with his legs on my bladder. Well when he kicks I wanna p in pants(joke).

Answer 1

My twins were born at 32 weeks, and came head first and in a hurry to be born. You still have plenty of time. Try not to worry.

Answer 2

DONT WORRY!!!! Dont waste your time going to the emergency room or any of that. THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME. Seriously I was also paranoid something was wrong. My little girl would also kick so hard sometimes it would hurt then she went 4 days with little fluttering movements, no kicks it just felt like I had butterflies. Well I waited till I went to the doctor and it turns out she was positioned differently and kicking into my back and therefore could not feel anything. Like my doctor said any movement is indicator that everything is well, as long as you feel something no matter if its week, you should not worry. Your body will let you know when something is wrong. Your baby is fine, and this is actually quite normal to experience weakness in their movement around this time, cause their still exploring and might stay in a certain position such as facing your back and you can not feel the movements as strongly. Dont worry. Just wait until your appoitment and your doctor will let you know everything is fine.

Hey,
I was born 9 weeks premmie (@ 31 weeks) and I came out butt first! lol! The time when your baby turns can vary...just remember, every baby is different! But generally, it's usually anytime between 32-36 weeks. With some people, they're baby may turn before this time, or possibly after :)
Congrats!

Answer 4

My baby did not flip into the right position until 32 weeks, but it is different for everyone. Sorry though to break the news that the bladder issue is not going to go away because once he flips his head will be pushing on your bladder instead. Congratulations and Good Luck!

Answer 5

Mine turned at around 36 weeks, but I have two friends whose babies turned on the day of their birth... one had been breech and turned correctly for a normal delivery, and the other had been in the correct position and flipped over, she ended up having to have a C section.
Even when he turns over, there's no relief on the bladder. I think mine still moved his hands up or bounced on his head. :)

Answer 6

I'm 36 weeks and I would say that in both of my pregnancies my babies turned around 32-33 weeks. It can happen alot sooner or later as everyone is different :) Good luck!

Answer 7

Your baby will turn whenever he needs more room to be comfortable. Generally this will be between weeks 28-32 but then its not uncommon for babies to turn before or after that. Best of luck

Answer 8

Babies will usually get into position later in your pregnancy but they can turn even into position or out of position up to the day of delivery. We thought my daughter was head down and found out that it was her butt and her legs were up by her head so we had to do a C-section.

Answer 9

my doc was not concerned with the position of my baby until I reach 36 weeks along. she said that up until that point, the baby has lots and lots of room to move around and so its pretty irrelevant before that point. so dont worry youve got a while to wait before it matters

Answer 10

well my first didnt actually turn until 2 weeks before i was due and she was born a week early so you have plenty of time for him to turn around congratulations by the way and good luck
