    Have you got a beanbag? I spent much of my latter pregnancies on all fours using a beanbag for support to try and get my babies into the best possible position so it might work for you too. Also, if you can move your lounge furniture so that the most comfortable way to watch TV is on all fours leaning over the side of the sofa.

    Thanks for the tips. I had read also that lying on my back with my hips/bum propped up on a firm pillow might help? I do find it confusing though that having my bum higher than everything else gets bubs moving in the right direction, I would've thought it was against gravity?

    There's just so much to have to try and learn/take in. What with thinking about labour, and dealing with GD, my brain is fast running out of space to fit all of the information in!!

    I was going to say spinning babies also! Our baby turned when her father had a chat to her and told her to get her head down. She turned that night. Our friend recently had a baby that was transverse, so my hubby had a chat to the baby, and what do you know her baby turned that night!!! Maybe get someone to have a little chat with baby!

    Our bubs was transverse at 32 weeks until around a week or so ago, i can feel her in the head down position and at my MW appt she was in the HD position.

    Your still early and have lots of time but my MW told me if i couldnt handle being on my hands and knees i could also lean across a bench or something similar while doing a cat curl (arching your back up) as our bubs had her back against mine which was very painful and uncomfortable!

    Hopefully your bubs turns for you
