1st time mum, sick with a cold and baby is posterior!:(

[heleina&dane]

Hi everyone, im 33weeks in with my 1st and she seems to be growing well. moves allot and everything is where it should be. Only i just found out she is posterior (she is head down, but her spine is on my spine).
I start physio early june and if that doesnt help I was told to get accupuncture. In my baby classes I have been given exercises to do and have been told not to lean back. Any1 else got any ideas cause the back pain is horrible and I am hoping for a not so painful natural birth drug free.

I also would love some ideas/remedies on colds, as this is the 2nd one I have had in 2 months and it seems never ending. I have had my flue shot and I do keep warm, but i just keep getting them and my partner doesnt!
Im using cough mixture, vicks chest rub, eucaliptus oil, on antibiotics, panadole, have a nose spay thingy and live on strepsils :S all together im having about 2 hrs sleep a night cause I cant breath and even with 2 doonas and a elec blanket on it wont ease up!

The main things are the positions and the acupuncture (they dont have to use needles - they can use moxa which is something they burn and hold the heat over certain points). I ended up having a posterior birth as the little monkey turned back at the last minute. So even if you get him into position, dont get complacent! Keep it up till the end.

Go and check out the spinning babies website (www.spinningbabies.com) - lots of great tips on how to get bubs into a prime position for birth. I know it would be hard with a cold when all you want to do is lay down in bec, but try to sit upright (sitting on a dining chair is good for this), no slouching or even laying on the couch if you can avoid it and don't sit with your legs crossed as this apparently opens up the back of your pelvis more than your front, meaning that it is easy for baby to get into the posterior position easier.
