Q: Chances of baby going breech past 35 weeks?

So I'm being slightly paranoid, I know. Baby has been head down at every ultrasound since at least 26 weeks (and I've had quite a few extra ultrasounds due to hypertension). At my last scan I was 35+1. I'm now just four days away from being induced and I can't stop worrying that baby will suddenly go breech! What are the chances?! TIA :)

I am 35 weeks and my baby just flipped from head down to breech, and I'm Freaking out! My doulas have me doing stretches and getting into positions that can help encourage baby to flip back into a head down anterior position, hopefully before birth. You can find the positions at spinningbabies.com . My baby flipped after very active intercourse with my husband. I don't care what doctors say now. I'm not have sex after 30 weeks ever again, unless I am passive and laying on my side. This is too stressful to chance again.

At the end of that paragraph I meant YOUR baby hasn't flipped, forgot the "y", and also in the beginning the use of the word "too" following "I think my baby is breech" was mis-used. I do not think your baby is breech at this point so it didn't make sense. Just clarifying! :)

I think that my baby is breech too! If they're head down they don't usually flip back to breech after 32 weeks, especially later than that because of lack of room. Luckily for me since I'm delivering at home I'm choosing to deliver vaginally regardless. The risk of things going "wrong" with a breech birth statistically VERY small. Hospitals and doctors choose to deliver breech babies by C-section to completely avoid liability. The medical world really has women believing that all of their interventions actually help women and babies in labor and delivery, when statistically interventions and medications CAUSE more problems and more C-sections, which are riskier for the mother and also don't clear the babies lungs out as good(because of the pressure in the birth canal) as a vaginal birth. Hospitals are great for emergencies, no doubt. I could go on and on about this stuff, lol. Chances are very high our baby hasn't flipped! I'm sure everything will be super great:)
