Moving the baby.

Is there anyway to get the baby to move slightly?

He has his bum right in my ribs and it is so painful and uncomfortable. I am sat on my birth ball, have tried gently prodding him and kneeling on all fours.

I'm 37+4 and could do with him just moving down a bit so I can breathe properly.

Thanks

He'll go down when he's good and ready - if ever .

The ball may help, but I really did find that mine moved in their own good time and not before.

Hey!

I get mine to move by laying gently on the side she currently is - she doesnt like it and therefore moves across - hopefully bringing her ass down with it!

I will have to try that Baby, it is so awkward(sp) and uncomfy.

Give it a go, try kneeling in all fours for a while too - that tends to get mine wiggling. i was quite lucky, never really had an issue with my ribs, mines more her bum sticking out of my belly button area!
