Q: C-section How Early Can a Practictioner Diagonse?

My practictioner told me at 5 months (21 weeks) that my baby is breech. I was suprised that it mattered that early so I asked her if babies even turn head down that early. She said yes, but that a lot of babies turn head down as late as 37-38 weeks. She discussed the possibility of a cesarean and even cephalic version therapy. Of course, with this being our first child, I worried. I've read that most babies do not turn head down until 32-35 weeks. I really don't want a c-sectin because of the surgery and recovery period. Any advice?

If your doctor is suggesting a c-section this early, I would find another doctor! There is a good chance that the baby will move more over the next four months. I would not consider a c-section this early! If your doctor is pushing for it, I would see a new Dr.

Oh no, she is not suggesting a c-section right now!! She's just telling me that the baby is breech and what will happen when i'm ready to give birth. I'm just more concerned with the baby being breech so early. I've read that it's no big deal, yet my practitioner tells me a lot of babies have already turned into the head down position already.
