How do I shift baby off pubic bone??

Hi Winter,

Congrats on your pg, not long to go now! Something that might help is a simple technique whereby you..
1) kneel on the floor (hmm, that might not be the simple part!)
2) then lean slightly forward to rest your elbows on the floor. Be sure to put a cushion under your knees and to keep them apart to give yourself a wide enough base of support.
3) It tends to be a little more comfy if you rest your head down on your arms (does that make sense?)

The idea is that, with your bum being higher than your head, gravity works to allow bub to move and take pressure off your pelvis. Only do it for a few minutes at a time or stop when you start to feel even the tiniest bit dizzy, whichever comes first! It's very effective and is really useful for giving posterior babies room to spin around. It can also be great to use during labour if you feel things are progressing too quickly.

HTH! xo
