    33 weeks and transverse

    My bubba is transverse

    My Midwife advised me to be careful as the umbi cord is below bubs and if my waters rupture, the baby could obstruct the umbi cord or the umbi cord could 'come out'.

    Any suggestions on how to move bubby into the right position?

    TIA xx

    Google spinning babies hun for some ideas but things like lots of time on hands and feet - kneeling, you can do a plank thing and lie almost upside down, moxibustion and acupuncture/pressure can all help!

    Ahh my midwife suggested moxibustion but I thought she said 'combustion' and have been googling combustion ever since

    Combustion!! Too cute!!! You can do it yourself too - i know someone who went to a chinese medicine person, and then they showed her how to do it at home - can't remember if bub was transverse or breech but it worked!

    I went on the baby spinning site and it has an 'inversion' exercise there. I tried it last night (HILARIOUS) and will do it today. Might spent the say crawling around on my hands and knees too!

    Yep, that spinning babies worked for me - lots of hands and knees and upside down poses! Very funny, but you do get better at it!
