My baby was breech around the 30 week mark and I put my knees on the couch and hands on the floor for as long as I could hold it (its not real easy and I am carrying small) - next appointment, baby was head down. Not sure if it worked but I guess its worth a try.
You will see on the spinning babies website that they talk about inversions (which is what Megsy talks about in the above post)....I wouldn't recommend doing them for longer than 30 seconds though...the idea is it streches the uterus and makes it alittle uncomfortable for bubs so it is encouraged to move IYGWIM.
The most useful I found was to go to the pool and do handstands and swim around on your tummy. Felt great and worked for me. I was carrying transverse, then posterior. Now Im good- hopefully it stays that way.
Also...everyone will tell you, most babies spin the right way eventually, and your more likely to be carrying breech up until labor just cause you have carried full term before.
Anyway...dont stress, have a look at spinning babies and Good luck!!!
I don't think i could do the inversions atm due to feeling like a fat duck and also the SPD i've also got limits my movements some what. I could just imagine DH walking in and asking what on earth am i doing
If my pool warms up enough over the next week i might try and spend some time in there tummy down and have a good ole chat to Miss A..
