Breech bubba.... Butt planted firmly in pelvis!!

[Pretty Butterfly]

My last 2 bubbas were breech and transverse up until the last few weeks, then turned, but Little Girl is planted, with her butt, firmly in my pelvis...

I have the 2 best positions to do off Spining babies, but what are the chances of turning a bubba that is so deep and well planted?? Placenta is high and out of the way...

My Ob is concerned she wont lift up and turn....

And to be honest, I think I would prefer a breech birth over a ceasar.... but I dont think anyone up here will support that...

Has anyone got some great techniques, or has turned a "deep" breech???

[puppies]

No idea, but wanted to wish you best of luck with that!

[Ellibam]

if you want a breech vag birth start researching now(even if she flips that info is useful!) remember they can not make you have a ceasar.
and the best thing for a breech birth is hands off just let it happen as your body needs to!
Good luck either way!

[Pretty Butterfly]

Thanks ladies.... I'm praying she'll turn eventually.....

I wonder how many BB women have had Breech births????

[diva det]

she still has a big change of turning
the only technique i have heard is a warm bath with a bag of frozen peas on the top of the stomach so that it encourages bubs to head for warmer waters!
if it is any help, when i had my twins, twin 1 was head down at 29 weeks and then turned breech at 30 weeks and he was head down ready to go before that! cheeky monkey. So if he can turn with another bub in there- then bubs still has a chance.
hang in there

Ohh, i'll try the frozen peas.... maybe while lying on the ironing board upside down!!!

Jodie, My aunty was born bum 1st, and she is now almost 50 and still superbly flexible. She is a twin. If no doctor is willing to support you to have her breech, then you do what you have to do. If you dont want to have a caeser, then dont. Little Girl will be just fine. Spend tonnes of time on all fours though, rocking, this may help, or they can try ECV to turn her, but if she insists on coming breech, then you go girl.

It seems so unheard of these days doesn't it. I was born breech along with my younger sister....and i'm not that old LOL! I know mum did say though after she had me she was very weak....i think it is just harder to labour and birth with a breech baby.

GL with what ever you decide.

[Arimeh]

Jodie it is a shame that there is no support down there.

Pity you aren't up here cos my OB is one that actually supports breech VB.....

Fingers crossed she turns for you hon.

Mel, a lot of days I wish we were up there, moving to Surfers Paradise is still on the table though!!!

I do all the right techniques every day, and so far no movement.....

Turn Little Girl, TURN!!!!

Cheeky girl! Hun have you thought about having acupuncture/moxibustion?? Moxi has an 80% success rate of turning babies so it really is well worth going to have a few sessions! Also all the stuff on spinning babies will help like the warm bath/icepack up top, lying upside down etc ! Good luck lovely!!

i second MOXI, i did it with DD and found she turned head down but didnt engage ... (but she didnt engage till 2nd stage in labour..)

[feeb]

Try the moxibustion i know of a few who it has worked for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*charmalea* bubs woud be engaged before 3rd stage as 3rd stage is birthing placenta!!!!!!!! sop baby out by then

[*charmalea*]

whoopsie.. just edited then .. strangely enough i had bubba #3 on my mind so i thinks thats where the 3 came from ....

but go the moxi , i still have my moxi stick ..it smells like hooch !!

[Michelle71]

Yep - go the moxa sticks. DS was trying so hard to turn using the moxa (and when I was doing handstands in the pool!!) but his head was stuck between my ribs and the anterior placenta. He was never going to get out at that late stage and we even tried turning him. We had a natural labour commencement to 6-7cm and were heading for a vaginal breech until he became distressed. Then it was a c-section.

As for who you can get to support - John Hunter has a few. Mine is in Sydney and is saying he will support a breech VBAC if we get to that position too
