My baby is currently breech!??

[Rahjah]

Hi Danni...it truly is amazing how people feel free to comment on a pregnant woman's body isn't it! I really refrain from doing it to others now that I know how it feels! As if we're not dealing with enough without worrying about our size/shape!!

With a 2nd bub it would make sense for you to be bigger. But some people tell me I'm big, and alot of ppl freak because they think I'm too small. What the! So don't worry about it - just go with yourself and your mw/ob looking after you. That's all that matters, as long as you're healthy.

Re the breech thing - 28 weeks is TRULY way too early to worry . But if you do some internet research there's good reading out there...

also I was going to a pregnancy yoga class and they swore by getting down on all fours to watch tv (letting your belly hang) - or hanging your upper body off a fit ball/chair/whatever - just to allow the bub maximum room in there to move, and allow gravity to work in pulling the head (heaviest part) down.

If you get to 38 weeks and are breech, other things like acupuncture can work well for women too.

If you google it there's a stack of info on breech positions and about exercises to help turn the baby.

GL!

Danni, it's still pretty early and Bub has plenty of time to move into the correct position. Rahjah has given you some great information!

As for people telling you that you're big, it's annoying isn't it? I have had "are you sure there aren't twins in there" - there are some real annoying people out there...I personally don't think I'm huge and have that healthy glow happening.

Good luck..

Thankyou Rahjah! I really appreciate your reply and reassuring advice. I feel much better now after reading several internet sites and becoming more informed.

Hi Danni,

Bubs still has time to move at 28 weeks. My bub was breech at 31 weeks but by 32 had turned.

Also it is amazing how all of sudden there are so many professionals that like to give you there 2 cents (whether you want it or not!!!) In the same week I was told that I looked big and someone else told me that I couldn't possibly be the gestation that I said I was because I wasn't big enough!!!!

All the best
