    Do a search for breech on BB forums - have been loads of threads about breech babies in the third tri. Lots of great information and wisdom shared

    My #2 kept changing positions and was breech at 40 weeks, but turned again before birth at 41 weeks. my midwife used rebozo to help reposition him.

    My second and third babies were breech until about 36 weeks, I had some acupuncture and did positioning to encourage hubs to turn. There is still plenty of time for baby to turn.

    I've heard the website "spinning babies" is really good. No first hand experience though, sorry.

    This bubs was breech from 28 weeks until 34 weeks. I had to have a scan to check if bubs had turned or not & it had. I saw my chriopractor who did some gentle manupulation to encourage bubs to turn and looked up the spinning babies website but didn't do any of the things they said b/c I was waiting to see what the scan come back as first.

    Other things I have heard of encouraging bubs to turn is a heat pack (just warm) down low (tummy & pelvis area).

    FWIW my OBS will deliver breech, so perhaps yours will too??

    Spinning babies website might have some good tips. I think people have used moxibustion and acupuncture etc with good results.

    the lady who I saw for chiro when I was pregnant (and worked wonders on getting my pelvis alligned and not so painful) said that she works with lots of preggy mums to help get the baby into a good position. I'd definately find somebody who works a lot with pregnant women and get them to help you.
