Turning a transverse/breech baby?

[KimB]

I wouldn't worry yet. My youngest ds was still transverse at 38 weeks and I went to have him moved by the doctor and he was head down but when I stood up he moved back into the transverse position. The doctor was not happy lol. He ended up head down by himself a couple of days later and I was induced to make sure he stayed there.

When he was born we understood why he liked being transverse. He was 9lb 12oz, 57cm long with a 38cm head. Being sideways gave him more room lol.

Don't stress as they can actually turn even during labour. If your bubs is still breech try to find a doctor who will let you give birth naturally anyway. It doesn't necessarily have to mean a c/s for you even if you have to fight to have a natural birth.

Good luck

Acupuncture and Shiatsu can work wonders for turning breech and transverse bubs. I've seen this work many, many times, safely and often pretty quickly. It is definitely worth considering.

All the best!
