Breech

Any tips for trying to turn baby myself?

been breech now for the past two months i'm 31weeks

I know a refloxologist who swears he has a 75% success rate at turning babies! not sure how true that is but subject came up in conversation after me telling him I had a breech pregnancy. There was no moving my little one tho, she was wedged up under my ribs. I had an ECV but wish i didn't just because of how painful it was and she didn't budge an inch!

I was told my baby was breech right up until 34 weeks, its very common that they turn on their own.

I was really worried i know how that feels x

It is early days yet to be worrying about this.I had 3 breech babies (one at a time!) at about 36/37 weeks. In those days (a while ago!) the consultant just turned them externally and they all finished up head first.

There is time still for baby to turn itself round; and if a CS is needed for a breech, they are so safe now - when I had mine they would do anything to avoid this as it was then a risky procedure.

Please do not let this worry you - we are so lucky that obstetrics has moved on so that this situation is not a cause for concern in the way it used to be.

At 31 weeks, I wouldn't worry. 25-30% of babies are breech at this stage. At 40 weeks only 3% are. Most sort themselves out.

Mine was breech at 31 weeks, flipped at 32 to head down. Had a good time for four and a bit weeks and then flipped back to breech before a growth scan at 36 weeks.

I’ve been doing the exercises from the Spinning Babies website and also did a hypnosis mp3 I found on Amazon. I think it has worked and that he has turned again at 37 weeks. I’m having hiccups in my pelvis and movement at the top of my stomach. Having acupuncture and chiropractic this week to make more space in my pelvis.

Motto of the story is that you have loads of time!!!
