At 37 weeks, Eddie was flipping daily. I know this, because I had frequent ultrasounds, and I'll tell ya, I could feel it. Can't tell you what happened after that, because we had a scheduled c-section at 37 weeks and a couple of days.
I hope this isn't an upsetting questions (I really don't know), but don't they do any natural breech births? I guess I was under the impression that intervening with c-section for breech wasn't strictly necessary, though what hospitals preferred (kind of like constant monitoring).
When I was pregnant with Eddie, I shared this article on "natural" c-sections with my wonderful OB. While we didn't have lavendar and soft music and all, she did pull him out a bit more slowly, to help clear the fluids a bit better. She shared later with me that she started doing all non-emergency c-sections that way, and was pleased with the results. Henry was my baby in the NICU with fluid troubles, not Edward.

But really, here's to flipping!
