I am on day 11 of using Moxa sticks to try and get the baby to turn... it’s clearly not working for me!!
Am doing it in conjunction with positions (spinning baby etc).

I just end up smelling like I’ve been smoking weed, we didn’t buy the smoke free ones 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️

Please someone tell me to stop. The children think I’ve lost the plot 🤪

Have a scan next week (36) then will give one session of EVC a go 🤞🏼

Oh yes I remember doing that too! It didnt work for me, neither did all the strange positions. I would even go to the pool to do handstands under water, nothing worked, he just didnt want to turn. I know if my current baby turns out to be breech, I wont so anything this time to try and make it turn. Good luck though, and I hope it does happen for you.

Thanks! Did you go on to try ECV?

@flissity yes I did, we tried twice on two different days (I was desperate to avoid a c section) They had to stop and said he wasn't going to move. He was very stubborn lol. I ended up with a c section, and even then they had trouble extracting him!! Lazy boy haha . Are you going to try ECV?

Oh sorry I just saw in your message you said you would. In my case, my son had always been breech. As soon as I could properly feel him, he was always head up. I dont think he ever changed positions. Has yours ever been head down?

Not that I know of. Ever since they’ve put the baby’s position in my notes, it’s always said breech. Which is why I think it’s very settled there!! Oh well, I can only try !
