[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 30 weeks my baby was breech and everyone said not to worry. At 32 weeks and 34 weeks same thing. My doc said babies flip late all the time. I waited. Well at 36 weeks I go to my OB and the baby was still breech and my OB was clearly nervous, wanted me to schedule a csection just in case, and urged me to see a specialist for an external version, as well as an acupuncturist for moxibustion. The specialist OB would not do a version because I had an anterior placenta and the acupuncturist basically said she would do what she could but it was really late in the game. I did inverts and cat cows like crazy. At 40 weeks I had a c section due to baby still in complete breech position. Bottom line is don't wait to be proactive. Start what you can now - inverts, cat cows, sitting on your core ball, moxibustion, etc. Who knows if my son would have flipped, but I had started earlier I would have spared myself and DH a lot of last minute scrambling and my own second guessing. [/quote] I am in this exact same position currently at 36 weeks except the thing is, I HAVE been doing all of those things since 30 weeks and STILL nothing so sometimes...they just won't turn no matter how hard/much you try. This is the most frustrating thing to go through week after week of them saying "don't worry, we still have time" and the weeks go by and nothing. Every night I've laid in a breech tilt position with a bag of frozen peas on top, a heating pad on the bottom, ear buds with music near my pelvis, a flash light down there while DH did moxibustion, ALL simultaneously...I've been going to a chiro and acupuncture weekly. 4 weeks later and nothing.Midwife is NOW starting to throw out "csection, induction, ECV"...I think I've cried every day now that this reality has hit me. She is right, do not wait! Try everything you can as soon as you can, best of luck![/quote]
