Operation "turn that baby"
So midwife appt yesterday at 35+3 showed bub still not head down and in a weird position
Been told to start acupuncture and moxi (something or other) so have appt on Tuesday night.
Midwife said next appt on 12/7 I will be checked using ultrasound and if still not head down - doctor will manually turn him (if I want) they will then check next day and again manually turn (if I want) and if he still isn't cooperating I will be booked in for c-section
Can anyone give me their experiences on manual turning of bubs and results.
Also any other ideas to get him to turn. We do believe he is on the small side and he often does complete flips around my belly, so he must still have plenty of room. I'm also only measuring 32.5cm/weeks so they will check that at next appt as well.
I want to avoid c-sections by all costs as it will mean residing in a 2 bedroom unit with my sister, brother in law an niece (as well as us 3) whilst my sister still works and my brother in law incapacitated with a broken back.
Help!!!!!
Operation "turn that baby"
My sisters bubs was breech and then turned sideways for a while which was very uncomfortable and at 38weeks he turned head down just on his own. She said it definitely hurt and was uncomfortable so she knew he had moved, so it is possible bubs will move. It is good to have all this advice and options to try some things!!
I have a friend who had a breech bub and had him turned by the Ob at 38 weeks, worked fine and she said it wasn't painful or terrible like you get told! Just some positives for you :-))
