Fancy a support/tips thread? Unless there's already one running, in which case, please point me at it! (I've been reading the 2007 Breech Watch thread and thought we needed a new one.)
Me: 33.4 and we found out DS2 was breech at a scan last saturday. The scan was for growth, and so I also know he's on the large side, though following his centile line and I don't have diabetes. He is an extended breech - head up on the left and legs straight up with feet on the right. Now I know why I've been having a burning sore spot high up on my bump for the last several weeks!
I have an independent MW, but unfortunately, she isn't very experienced with breech births and has always got in a more experienced colleague to assist. Her best breech colleague lives about 3 hours' drive away... She's been great, given me lots of reading and advice and said he'll probably turn anyway, but my thoughts have been drifting towards the benefits of an elective section today, though I'd love the confidence and expertise to attempt a home vaginal birth. Not sure I can bring myself to do that, though.
I've tried some inverted poses and I've got a friend who does moxibustion, for what it's worth. Any other tips/success stories?
