As far as breech goes; I take it you're meaning butt first. It's got those 10+ days to turn around and also it is fairly common (and okay) for them to come out that way. It may take a little more time to slide all the way out, but it can be done. If it gets stuck doesn't necessarily mean it's a goner, it just means you may have to assist. You can do it!!! Read, read, read, in these last few days. And I may be wrong here....a more experienced breeder can correct me if I am.....but I would think at this point the skull itself is done growing; it's the body that is filling out in the last days. So I don't think the head will get any bigger. But by all means, if you feel more comfortable getting another x-ray & opinion closer to her due date, go for it. Do what ever you need to do to put your mind at ease.

I agree!!
