Getting a breech baby to turn...

[buttonmoon78]

I know it's early days (am only 27wks) but this baby is breech. Everyone says not to worry as it's so early but all 3 previous dcs have settled into position v v early.

#3 was also breech and TBH I was in such constant pain with spd (and off my face on pain relief) that I simply didn't care. He was turned at 37wks and induced at 38wks but I have no intention of doing ecv again.

So, bearing in mind that I am reasonably unable to be very mobile, have no intention of doing anything which opens my pelvis etc, what can I do to turn this baby?

If this one doesn't turn, I'm not sure I'm happy to try a vaginal breech birth so I think it would be a section. Which I'm quite keen to avoid...

I'll also post this in childbirth.

Yes to echo 27 weeks is early, I think mine turned at 34 weeks.

Others have recommended spinningbabies.com/ as its got so much fantastic information on there so you can take an active approach.
