Footling breech

[fyrebloom]

I'm pretty sure he flipped breech, footling at that given the sharp kicks to the cervix I've been having! I'm going to the chiropracter tonight, but in case this lil guy stays put, has anyone had a successful UC with a footling breech. My twins were complete breech and vertex and I never progressed in labor with them and had a c-section. I'd love some good news. I think I'm just so stretchy from having had twins that he's got too much room to move and is going to flip flop at will, but I'm concerned about having a footling, esp where his brother has a MASSIVELY huge head.

Sorry to hear that! Hopefully he'll flip back w/ no problems.

Laura Shanley's #2 birth was a footling breech: http://www.mothering.com/discussions...2&postcount=13

Yeah, there is time. I hope he changes position again for you. No info on breech UC, though.

Thanks for the links. I've got not problem birthing a breech, but footlings have a greater potential for prolapse and thus a little more worrying. Glad to hear some good outcomes.

Webster technique worked like a charm (much easier to perform when there is only one baby!) Lil guy is back in launch position. It just got me thinking about footlings in general.
