[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my mom went into labor with me many years ago, I was breech and my mom's midwife flipped me around in time for a natural birth. So I asked my midwives their policy - they do not flip and deliver the baby, they send you off for a c section. [b]They did mention a doctor in Falls Church who might consider delivering breech.[/b] I am 29 weeks now, and I have been walking the entire pregnancy, 1-3 miles a day, which is supposed to help. I also started doing the exercises several weeks ago simply because I am nervous about repeating history! When I went in for the 28 week check up, the baby was head down already. I can feel when she moves sideways sometimes and then goes back to head down position. My nurse said that once the baby is 34-36 weeks it gets harder for her to move around as much, so I would recommend starting the spinning babies exercises now. Can't hurt, right?[/quote] Very few docs in this area - in the United States, actually - will deliver a breech baby for a first time mom. It's considered super risky. Dr. Tchabo in VA is supposedly one of the few docs in the area who will deliver a breech baby but I think under specific circumstances. GW Midwives will occasionally deliver breech babies, too, but the mom must meet specific criteria and be with their practice. OP - it's never too early to start your inverts. Check out Spinning Babies online for exercises. Also, swimming is supposed to help. Nothing too strenuous - just floating in the pool. Apparently the wieghtlessness can help the baby flip. [/quote]
