    I was told getting down on all fours and rocking backwards and forwards helps....

    I did it with my last son and it worked

    Yep down on all fours is good, or on knees with arms/upper chest draped over a fit ball too. My doula has recommended after the hands and knees time to sit on the fit ball and rock for about 10 - 15 mins too to keep bub in the right position. Our bub has been transverse for ages, and after a week or so of doing the above 2 or 3 times a day for 15/20 mins, we are now head down anterior. I know it can change, and then change again, but I'm confident if I keep it up we will be in a fantastic birthing position!

    Good luck

    Yep hands and knees position at least 4 times a day.

    Also if you need extra help accupuncture is great, worked for me.

    It is so hard to know what works because a lot of these posterior babies just turn around themselves! I had some accupuncture at 40+1 and she turned that night - no idea if that worked or she was just ready to turn anyway but it might be worth a try.

    ETA - I had the stop start contractions also, my girl was just keeping me on my toes!

    I think it depends on bubs....I visited their site and did every trick in the book with DS#1....he stayed posterior and I only got as far as 4cm and then DS#2 was doing fine, dialted to 5cm in good time and then whammo, everything stopped, he pulled back up and I had instant back pain.

    Hope your little one behaves and does what you ask!!!!

    Spinning Babies is a great website.

    Are there any Birth Workers in your area who have experience with the Rebozo?
