Operation "turn that baby"

[HotI]

My midwife used rebozo to get my baby moving and head down. kinda like this http://www.spinningbabies.com/techni...ebozo-sifting/

I would lay on my back, with a woven wrap under me, and 2 people would each hold the end of the wrap. They then alternated pulling/wiggling the cloth and my tummy would be all wiggly. I also did it kneeling forward. Baby would move around and move head down. After this i would bounce on the fitball for awhile, and we also wrapped my tummy. I had a large seperation in my abdominal muscles and so they weren't holding baby in and over the pelvis.

Baby was highly mobile and went from transverse to head down to trasverse to head down to breech to transverse..... but was thankfully head down at 41 weeks when he was born. He was still changing position at 40 weeks. If your bub is still able to move around, i wouldn't agree to a c section. Baby can change position during labour, so don't feel pressured to sign up for a c section early.

Wow I am so glad you mentioned this because I am asking my MW to do rebozo to turn bub from posterior to anterior. How quickly did it work?

EDIT: I have a large separation too. Did they do this only during labour or during pregnancy too?

I think chiro has already been mentioned earlier. The lady who I see helped another mum turn her bub around the 36 week mark.
Both my acupuncturist and chiro said that they usually try a couple of times to turn a baby and if still no successs, they won't push it - I think one of them mentioned that if the cord is wrapped around the neck, the babysometimes won't move down (self preservation?). But apparently they have a lot of success in moving those bubs! Good luck and hope that you avoid the c/section.

We did it a number of times during pregnancy from 37? weeks, cos he changed position again. Each time, it was less than 5 minutes of rebozo and baby changed position and turned head down. My midwife did say that was really quick though, and probably due to the muscles not providing structure for baby. My baby was a big one too, over 10lb.

We planned to do it during labour if needed, but it wasn't needed. i was able to move around freely (and did wiggle my hips lots) and i think this helped to get him through. i don't know what position he was at the start (ant v post) but he came out ant.

One of the more 'natural' communities actually promote baby to be in posterior position prior to labour, something about lining them up and then they do the twists and turns during labours. i can't remember where i read that but will try to find it again.
