good and proper - feet straight down, head up under my ribs.......now I know that being "only" (haha) 29+3 weeks there's plenty of time for him to turn - but could I please have some reminders of positions to sit, squat, lie etc etc in to encourage him to get his bottom the right way up.....

fannieannie, I know how you are feeling. I posted a very similar thread at the beginning of this week. The response was fab and there are some great tips on there. Have a look at the link below and it should give you everything you'd like to know and save lulu linking and others posting it all again.

thread here

Good luck I hope you get a lucky turn.

hi fannyannie.
i was told dd was breech since 28th week, and mw assured there was plenty time. but little madam thought she was right pocition anyway
so i ended up ecv at 7th week(external cervix version) turned her from outside. they offered me csection but i was chicken
and gave birth natural after 1 week.
i have done many things ppl told me like crwaling in fours and etc.. and none of them worked. good luck. hope baby turnes for you in plenty time.

ECV..external cephalic version, not cervix !!

fannyannie · 23/03/2007 21:14

ECV - so is it true that they won't do one if you've had a previous CS????

erm, might be worth speaking to obs, as you have had a vaginal birth since, and your uterus was ok, but definitely makes them more reluctant
