When Does Baby Turn? Posted: 01-22-06 00:33am


This is my first pregnancy and I was wondering when the baby should turn and go head down? I've heard for first time moms, baby normally doesn't turn until the last minute. I've also heard they are the ones the turn faster than others. Does anyone know anything about this? I know every pregnancy is different, but there must be a majority of some sorts. Thanks -hopeful

My first baby was in the birth canal at 6 months. My second child was head up, at 38 weeks they turned her "manually"--knees up in the table, and pushing into my uterus. I had hand print bruises on my belly. She turned back to breech. The last day before induction at 42 weeks, she turned again on her own. Boy did that hurt. My last child was head down but "stuck in my hip bone" he turned to upside down the day before induction at 42+ weeks. He was induced 2 different times, at term+ then 2 weeks later. It hurt me really bad when they waited to full term + to turn around. It is the most painful, and uncomfortable thing ever!!!!
