And his head was huge... 5th percentile for length & weight, 95th for head, lol. My midwife leaned in as they pulled him out (had to make the incision bigger as his head was stuck) and whispered, "I'm quite glad we didn't go for the home birth " So... while I thought his position was a horrible thing, it may have been quite a blessing in disguise.
He is STILL the most stubborn creature I've ever encountered.
I spent so much time worrying about him being breech that I didn't realize--until my 2nd non-breech baby was full term--how pleasant it was to have a baby whose head was not pressing down.

Best of luck to you!! I hope your baby will flip! Either way, hope all goes well & smoothly for you!
Thank you!!!
