Breech baby PAIN!!

[user1485788422]

Hi all I'm 33 weeks with baby no.4. The last few weeks have been very painful. Babies been lying transverse so whenever I would get tightenings I'd feel like my ribs were cracking Then last week at the midwife we'd found out she'd moved herself from transverse to breech!!
Last night I woke up with crazy movements and extreme pain in my pelvis! And even now, this morning it's continuing! I can only assume she's trying to turn herself (hopefully to head down position)
I was wondering what I could do to encourage this? Or how to ease the pain without interfering with her turning?
Thanks all

You might be able to get a co-codamol prescription if the pain is really bad. At 33 weeks not sure it the baby can move to a head down position but there are ball exercises you can do - ask your midwife.

Look at the spinning babies website. Being all fours apparently also gives the baby more space.

Baby can definitely move. Mine just did. Midwife recommended me to:

• use maternity ball
• be as active as possible
• down dog/ironing board method (check out Spinning babies)
• putting frozen peas on top of your belly, and something warm (like a warm water bottle) on the bottom

You can also try:

• acupuncture
• moxibustion (though this sounds bonkers)

I've had those rib kicks too and they really do hurt. I found myself gasping with pain in meetings and panicking my colleagues.
