Breech baby
Hi girls, my next midwife appointment is on Friday, I will be exactly 37 weeks. My last appointment was at 34 weeks and the position of my baby wasn’t mentioned, and I didn’t think to ask. I feel like she is certainly head-up as under my ribs is solid but the bottom of my belly has returned to being flabby. Has anyone else experienced this? What info were they given and what was the outcome (if experienced)? I’m in Scotland.
Thank you!

My ribs are solid too, it’s where baby’s bum is on one side. His legs tend to go off to the side, with his feet on the other side of my ribs. You can’t feel the head bc it’s tucked away in my pelvis - he’s been cephalic since 28 weeks.
My baby was a mix of breech, transverse and somewhat head down until about 37-38 weeks, then settled somewhat head down.. I was relatively anxious about his position so my midwife would offer in office ultrasound to see, and she suggested using the at home Doppler. She said if the heartbeat was below my belly button baby was likely head down. In the end he was head down but still turned not quite right and didn’t like the contractions so I ended up having a C-section.

The bottom of my belly was always softer and my baby was head down from 28 weeks!
