If the baby is breech will I still go into natural labor?
At 37 weeks, your doctor should be able to feel your tummy to find baby's head, not just ask where baby is kicking?! Especially as babies can be little contortionists and kick in some amazing positions that seem impossible. If after checking your tummy, he feels that the baby is breech, he will keep an eye on you cause babies can turn as late as 38 weeks. If by then bub still hasn't turned then he will probably book you in for a c-section as baby is now too big to turn by itself. They will not let you go into labour knowing you are breech though. Sometimes though, they can surprise everyone and suddenly turn even later but that can be very painful for mum when bub does this. If you do go into labour with a breech baby, they can sometimes put the brakes on the labour but that is often when you go in for emergency c-section, this you really want to avoid because often your partner is not allowed in, at least a planned one, he is allowed in. All the best sweetie and I hope all goes smoothly for you.
