Breech baby at 29 weeks

Hi mummies! Just had my scan at KKH and the doc mentioned that my boy is in a breech position and that there is a chance that he will not flip for me to have a safe natural birth. She only gave 2 options which are to do a csec or to manually turn baby. Any mummies out there had a breech baby and baby managed to turn on its own later on/got a doc to do manual turning? Also, any suggestions on what i can do to help baby with turning on his own? Hoping to really have a natural birth as long as baby is safe and healthy.

Hi my baby was also breech at 29 weeks. He turned at 33 weeks so you definitely still have time. My gynae at KKH said that the manual turning option only has a 40% success rate and during the process, it might be stressful for the baby which is not safe. Maybe try to walk abit more before your next appointment and most importantly, talk to baby! Tell baby to turn… my husband did that a lot before our 33 weeks appt. good luck!
