I'm 38 weeks and, like Sailorswife, my baby just flipped back to being breech. The sign for me was also the hiccupping but the OB did an ultrasound to be sure. I don't there's any reason for concern until you're at least 36 weeks and it's still not impossible to get them to flip, as I'm hoping to prove. Good luck!

I am 35 weeks and my baby just flipped from head down to breech, and I'm Freaking out! Hiccups under my ribs are what clued me that she had flipped. 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 having sex after 30 weeks ever again, unless I am passive and laying on my side. This is too stressful to chance again.

I had my baby (stillborn) at 33 weeks, when I was initially in labor, he was breech. I was very nervous. When it was time to push nurse said he was head down. So I'm guessing my body just flipped him itself, he couldn't flip himself since he had already passed away.

yes I agree. Baby still has time to flip. My daughter was breach until 38 weeks. I used spinning babies techniques to get her to turn.

Baby has TONS of time to flip. My 3rd was breeched at 33 weeks, flipped at 35 and then back breeched at 38. He was head down when i delivered at 39 weeks 1 day.
