    Hi there,
    My chiro told me about a baby that turned breech at 36 weeks and they managed to turn it back again. I would definately get in to see a chiro - the one that I saw with my recent pregnancy was able to keep the pelvic stability at bay (whereas, I could hardly walk by the end of my first and second pregnancies). My chiro was telling me that the ligaments from the pelvis are connected to the uterus and that sometimes these can be tight or tighter on one side etc or twisted and make it difficult for bubs to sit in a good position. She was great at loosening these up and making sure that my pelvis was in alignment and not twisting to one side.
    Also I've heard that acupuncture is meant to be great at helping to turn bubs as well.
    Hope you manage to turn bubs and get your VBAC! Best of luck

    Both of mine turned after 38w.. and I didnt do anything major to turn them.. my care providers were quite unconcerned both times.. sit on a fit ball rather than a couch where you might lean back i think was the most i did.

    My bub was still turning at 40 + weeks. Mel used to swear by half handstands in the shower. you still have heaps of time for bub to turn.

    Happy to announce that after waking up this morning feeling like somethng was going to fall out my vagina and having a sore groin all day, midwife informed me that bub is low and 100% head down.

    She told me to keep spending time on my hands and knees in case bub turns back.

    Thanks for all the positive vibes!!
