I got back from my ultrasound today - baby is weighing approximately 4.5 lbs., normal for current gestational age (phew), and currently in a frank breech position. The tech wasn’t concerned, said that within the next month or so he should turn around, but man, I have got to stay away from Dr. Internet because everything I am reading is horrifying me!
His current position makes so much sense - he prefers my left ribcage because that’s where his noggin is wedged. When I lie on my right side, I feel him tiptoeing on my right side, and it delights me to no end.
The plus - I sang “Head, shoulders knees and toes” to Josh while pointing at my abdomen in a v-formation.
Breech. Sheesh. We’re only 31 weeks along and he’s already causing trouble!

I know it’s hard but try not to worry. Mine was breech too and we talked ad nauseum about versions and c-sections and blah blah blah and then I went for an ultrasound at like 38 weeks and he wasn’t breech anymore. So all that worry was for nothing! There is NO reason that they turn breech, usually, except that they just … do. I read and read and made myself crazy and you can’t ever get this time back so try try to relax and know that everything will be okay. Good luck!
