Baby Breech, not sure about trying to move baby?

I am 35 weeks pregnant tomorrow

32 weeks - scan showed baby was breech

34 weeks- midwife was unsure due to position but still seemed breech.



now i have to see the midwife at 36 weeks (next week) and if the baby is breech then she is going to send me to the hospital to try and move the baby into the right position for birth by the time i get to 37 weeks, the midwife mentioned that they do it in hospital incase it starts labour off.

i've spent all week looking around and speaking to people about moving the baby (not sure what it's called) and i didnt realise that there's small risks with the baby's heartrate and labour starting aswell. Now im not so sure, i dont know whether it is a choice thing or whether it has to be done. I have already spoken to my midwife about what happens if the baby stays breech and she has said a cesarean at 39 weeks, which i am happy enough to go along with. i just dont know about trying to change baby's position, would it be stupid to say i dont want it, i have a strong belief that everything happens for a reason. I miscarried 5 months before i fell pregnant this time and it has made me see that everything had a purpose, i think if my baby is breech now then for some reason she is meant to be born by cesarean, does that sound stupid? i dont want to look like im causing a fuss over a small thing, or whether i can say i dont want it at all. not sure how it works.



I have to decide by a week tomorrow cos thats when im seeing the midwife and if baby is still breech then she'll want to book the appointment to move her whilst i am there.



thanks in advance xBaby Breech, not sure about trying to move baby?
my sister was breech and my poor mum had her turned 3 times the longest she stayed the right way was 2 days but during labour she turned herself so fingers crossed iv heard alot of babies do this they move at the last minute when they are ready
