Sounds just like me. My dr suggested to have her turned but then i asked him what he would do and he said I would leave her alone. There is nothing you can do unfortunately, If god wants the baby to turn he will turn the baby. The way they would turn the child is to admit you to the hosp. for the day and they manually turn the baby from the outside. I was afraid to have her moved due to what could happen if they do turn her, I would think---would she turn back around after having all that done, would she land on her cord and have issues after that, how would i know that she is fine in there--those were my thoughts. at 34 weeks she did turn it was a very interesting experience. But, when I did go in to have the baby I did end up with a c-sect, only dialated 6 cm because the baby did not have the time to prime the cervix. Therefore when she was born the cord was around her neck 2 times, the dr did tell me that it is possible that when she did turn that happened---I could not imagine what would of happened if I would of had her turned. Pray about it, it will work out and you would rather have a healthy child then anything else. contact me if you wish. I will be here for ya.
you can try some exercise on the birthing ball sitting on it squating and also hands and knees, i called one of my friends and that is what they had her do. sometimes they do move at the last weeks or so, sleep on the left side that also helps.

This might sound a little strange BUT it's worth a try. Before I stopped work when I had my son I used to work at a physiotherapy clinic and one of the practitioners was a licenced acupuncturist. Lots of women who were late in third trimester came in for acupuncture to turn a breech baby. There was about a 80 percent success rate. But I think you have to start treatment before 36 weeks? Double check on that. Hope this helps.

they may well be waiting to attempt to tutor the newborn... I pay attention that is relatively painful nonetheless. This wasn't an determination for me reason my placenta replaced into in front. if so that is risky to purpose it. particularly nonetheless, at 29 weeks they might nevertheless activate their very own. My sister replaced into in pregnant with a infant head down at 38 weeks and it flipped on a thank you to the well being facility to breech and he or she ended up with a c-section because of fact of it. i could attempt to relax and think of certainly. If the newborn remains breech previous 35 weeks i could start to evaluate a c-section. Ask the OB approximately your ideas nonetheless. each and every case if diverse. optimistically your infant has already became and you do no longer even understand!

Ahhh i had this prob! when i was 30wks they noticed the baby was breech, at 37wks i went in for an ECV (turned manually) It was a little uncomfortable but they stop when you tell them to, they managed to get my baby to turn side ways however as soon as i arrived home she had turned straight back into her breech posistion so i went in for a c-section at 39wks. I concluded that she just felt more comfortable in the posistion she wanted to be in and if i ever have another breech baby i would not opt for the ECV as i feel that what-ever happens, happens! If the baby wants to turn she will in her own time and if she doesn't want to turn then she won't!! I feel its their choice to make after all WE DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE IN THERE!! lol so really up to you... You can opt for ECV, laying on your left side, Laying upside down etc etc etc OR just allow the baby to do as she feels best!

That's so funny...I just read about this on one of the med sites I visit (I'm 33 weeks too - due October 6th).
They suggested lying down with your bum (pelvic area) raised up on pillows about 12 inches, for 20 minutes at a time, 2-3 times a day. I guess it's supposed to help with the baby's orientation of the world.
I'll see if I can find the source for you to include below. Best of luck.

Lay on your left side. My oldest son was sitting funny and they told me to lay on my left side to encourage him to get in the right position. I don't know why it works but it does, at least in my situation. Also, they can manually try to turn the baby. The doctor pushes on your stomach and move him from the outside. I've heard it's painful though.
Good luck!!

get down on hands and knees and let your belly hang down. It gives the baby more room to move. Do it every day, he may move on his own. If it doesn't work, ask your dr to do an external inversion, where they manipulate the baby through your abdomen to get him to turn. Its uncomfortable, but it can work and help you avoid a c-section. Good luck.

Your Doctor may offer to try manually rotating the baby- think it over carefully.

A manual rotation hurt real bad. It they recommend it don't do it. Get a C-section. It's much easier believe me.
