Sterla, DS and DD2 were highly mobile during my pregnancies, switching from breech to transverse to cephalic regularly. For DD2 (my 3rd baby), i wore a tubigrip type wrap, plus strapped my tummy for most of the pregnancy. i was careful in how i moved, and thought all was well when she was fairly consistent in position for the last two weeks.
However at 40weeks +9 days, she decided to change position and moved fully transverse (across my tummy). i started to think i would need to find a hospital...... surgery.....then just before i rang my midwife, my DD asked to go check the chooks. I walked down the backyard and played with the kids 15 minutes or so, then headed back in. as the phone was ringing for me to tell my midwife that baby was not in a good position, i felt a kick at the top of my tummy. Baby had turned again! I went into labour soon after and she was born that night.
i think she needed to do a big loop to get in a good position ready to be born.
