Polyhydroamnios - anyone had this or know much about it?

[*Beema*]

Wooooo Hoooooo for getting to 37 weeks, what a fabulous job you have done

for him being breech, I can suggest a few things to try if you have time - the bonus is with all the extra fluid he can easily turn back

Spinning Babies is a great website with lots of suggestions for turning a breech bub
Seek a Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapist, we have one here on BB in the Professional Support Pannel (part of the Platinum Membership) and I think he is based in NSW, he would be able to do Moxibustion, Accupuncture to try and assist bub turning as well.

I have two attempts at an ECV done at 28 weeks and we did manage to turn Anastasia further around, but she chose to turn back and after that my AFI levels dropped and in the end I had no AF left It is uncomfortable, it can bring on Contractions and stir up your uterus.

It does does sound like a lot of intervention, but I would go for the ECV over the CS I tried it all with Anastasia, in the end it wasn't to be and at least I know I tried everything.

Take care and wish you all the best

Thanks Beema - I will have a look at spinning babies. I have been rocking on all fours a fair bit since seeing the OB. Considering using a neighbours pool to do some hand stands in but it's not quite warm enough here for that - I'll see if I can be brave enough to do that today perhaps.

I will try to arrange some more accupuncture and moxibustion. I had some at about 32 weeks which worked a treat. Thanks for the support. I was so looking forward to meeting my little man on MOnday but now it's all up in the air. I want to feel positive about it all again.

Will keep you updated.

good luck joey's girl! xx
