    Thanks all for you help and suggestions.

    I tried an ECV the other day and it failed, I have now tried 5 sessions of moxybustion, 2 sessions of acupuncture, inversion postions, ice, music and the pelvic rocking/tilt positions and bub is still in the same position...... so i have just accepted that she is just very comfy and does not want to move.

    I am booked in for a C Section for next Thursday so heres hoping that she decides to turn before then and if not I will get to meet my beautiful little girl then anyway.

    Cheers

    mecil make sure you ask them to do an u/s just before you go to theatre.
    Only takes them a few minutes to check, there would be nothing worse than finding out baby was head down after they've done a caesar.
    Happens more than you'd think

    Good luck with your bub's birth.

    I have a friend who spent as much time as she could on all 4's. Her other kids thought she was so silly but bub turned within a day or two.

    she crawled everywere, even to the loo. but it worked.

    Good luck

    This might seem a bit 'hippy' of me, but is there something emotional going on for you ATM? There have been cases of babies being breech until Mum deals with some heavy emotional stuff, then they turn Not saying you are at fault or anything, but if this sounds sort of relevant for you, you might benefit from talking to someone about it?
    (Well, I said it was 'hippy' lol! Spiritual, anyway. But there just might be something in it. You never know.)

    My boy was breach from 34 weeks or earlier. I had a scan and this is the only way they found out, the gyno could have got it wrong for a while for all I know! Anyway at 39 weeks 4 days I had a caesar as the little ratbag did not want to turn. I was not for turning the baby as I gathered if he was going to turn he would turn on his own free will. Guess he was super comfy in there. They did however do a quick scan the morning of surgery and yep sure enuf he wanted to come out running!!!

    This one however is doing the right thing and is head down. If only he was my first child, then I would not be having this dilema of the worries of VBAC. Anyway I guess we will see what happens!
