telerib"At 28 weeks' gestation 25% of babies are breech, and the percentage decreases approaching term (40 weeks' gestation)."
Whew. See, the latest ultrasound showed the Spud still in a breech position. I know babies can move around quite a lot at 20 weeks (the first ultrasound, also breech) and that their mobility decreases with time. But no one had said when they kinda get "stuck" in their birth position. That 25% at 28 weeks drops to about 3-7% at birth, and we're only at week 24, so Spud has time to get himself properly turned around.
