Hi Melanie I have five children and am expecting my sixth in 2000. Everyone of my babies has presented in an odd manner right up until 38-39 weeks apparently because of the shape of my pelvis. All have been delivered vaginally though. They have presented tranverse, oblique, footling breech and on and on. Four of them have still been breech at 34-36 weeks and ECV atempted - not always successfully. However come labour day they have all turned into the right position with the early contractions and although one took a wrong turn the labours have progressed just fine. Best of luck and don't worry too much about it all. For some reason there are always worries in those last few weeks and for the most part everything turns out fine. Olivia
