35 weeks and breech
I had an ultrasound today and my baby is frank breech. Anyone successfully turned a breech or did you have a c-section?

I had a friend that had a baby turn at 38 weeks. I think there is still time. Can you see a midwife to help with positions, etc. to try and turn him know before he engages- not like the awful turning they try at the hospital but just positions, exercises, etc.

My 5th daughter was breech until the night before birth. But they were happy for me to deliver naturally as it was baby #5...some sarcastic comment was made about her just "falling out" lol

Nbp- 38 would work! I've been given some tricks to hopefully flip him, really hoping they work.
Princess- the night before she was born. Omg I'm not sure if I can take that lolLast edited by 3Pink1Blue; January 5th, 2012 at 12:03 AM.

There's still time, don't worry about it. If it gets closer & they keep talking "c-section", then google "natural ways to turn breech baby". They may sound weird, but they work. One literally makes you lay on a board propped on an incline...upside down. The gravity/buoyancy naturally switches the baby.
Good luck!

I've been a doula for 3 years now and I find that baby number 3 and beyond tend to move around quite a bit more until later gestations because there's more room in the womb. My third was breech/tranverse up until 36w. He would flip around daily. I knew that after birthing 2 naturally that I would have birthed him breech anyway but it's nice having them head down
There's a few things you can do....
Find a Chiro, make sure they are familiar with the Webster technique. It's successful 70+% of the time. It can take up to 3 visits.
Use moxibustion. It's a Chinese herb. Kinda looks like a cigarette and you burn the end of it very close to the outside of your baby toes. Also very good success rate.
Visit spinningbabies.com - very good info for getting babies into an optimal birth position.
Put a cold pack near baby's head and warm pack near your pubic bone. Baby will move away from the cold.
There's also homeopathics- I'll have to look it up to be sure of tha name before I tell you...I think it's Pulsatilla...
I bought a long scarf and started wrapping my belly when I knew baby was head down. It helped to keep him from moving around too much.
If I think of anything else I'll let you know!Crunchy Mama to 3 rambunctious boys~ '06 :bike: '08 '10
