What is her due date?

Is she currently at 35 weeks or are you saying that they determined baby was breech when your wife was at 35 weeks?

If you go by her last period on June 20th, she would be close to 38 weeks by March 11th... which would be in a normal time frame to give birth. Often a breech baby will be born by scheduled cesarean and it would not be uncommon to have this done a couple of weeks before a due date.

If they altered her due date a bit, after having a scan, and she is currently at 35 weeks, then that would be early to be delivering.

That she is not having any pains is normal. With a breech baby, the doctor would like to have delivery before labor begins.
