sunny side up....posterior....how can u get them to turn

[Melster]

well after all the hassel of deciding if i was going to have a csection or not due to previous section and low fluid i decided to let nature take its course.......now ob did scan yesterday and baby is sunny side......i defiantly dont want a painful back labour..........i have a few weeks..how can i get bubs to turn.....apparently my dd was the same...wonder if it has something to do with the positioning of my cervix? Otherwise he said i might end up having the csection

Thanks

Check out spinning babies - its a great website. Spend lots of time on all fours or on your front with cushions. Avoid reclining or lying on your back. Do pelvic rocking on your all fours. All these things can encourage baby to turn. Also when labour starts you should put your head/chest on the ground and butt in the air while on your knees... My current baby is persistently posterior and then midwife said this position should encourage him to turn when I am in labour, seeing as he is not keen on turning before!

My DS was posterior and I didn't have an anagonising back pain in labour - I had no drugs at all and progressed quite quickly for a first timer. I would have thought that just because your little one is posterior doesn't mean you have to have a CS... but I'm not a VBAC expert...

Apparently lots of being on your hands and knees can help bub turn. If your into yoga I think their are a few positions that may help. Check out a website called spinning babies.
Good luck
