Breech baby

Hi all my midwife told me two weeks ago that my baby was head down. Now she is on holiday and I saw her locum on Monday who checked my stomach and position of bubs she has now informed me that bubs is head up and to see a chiropractor. Im a bit confused because i only feel bubs kicks down low and have ever only felt them low but thats also the only place I feel hiccups.
Has anyone else experienced this?

If bubs is actually head down and I go to the chiro will this turn my baby head up?

As im ony 31 weeks i have a bit of time but would like to know what is going on.

Some babies just won't move but I didn't think referring to a chiro at 34 weeks was a common plan of action! If you feel uncomfortable with that you can do all the leaning forward/on all fours types of exercises!

i wouldn't worry about bubs lying breech as there's still plenty of time for bubs to turn......jack was breech but we didn't find that out until 36-37wks...then i had an ECV which failed, so he was born at 39wks by c/s

Our bubba was breech until about 34 weeks, and then flipped up the other way all on her own. I was pleased because I was so sick of her head pushing into my ribs, way worse than being kicked there I thought at least the kicking was transient! Lol.

My midwife said to go on all fours for some time each day, and try not to slouch back in chairs... but she didn't seem overly concerned about it when I was only 31 weeks.

TA you're not supposed to post in here! You're labour would put us all off having more kidlets

Hahaha Yeah my labour was proof anything can happen so there is no point stressing about it because what will happen will happen.

I'm pretty sure Spencer turned at 35 weeks from head down to breech. They wouldn't try to turn him cos my membranes had ruptured and when I had a scan they said he was well and trully stuck, he was extended breech.
I had a cs at 38 weeks, normally they wait till 39 but because of my ruptured membranes and I also I had an irritable uterus and kept going into labour but not active labour they did it earlier.

Doing the downward dog yoga move is suppose to be good as gravity helps them disengage and its also a position that gives them lots of space to turn, just be careful incase it makes you light headed.

hi becky
how are you getting on? has baby turned?
Im 32 weeks ans have also just beentold that bay is in breech position, this was very upsetting and quite dissapointing as a natural water birth is our plan so far,
I have been told many different things to try to turn baby such as
~prop yourself up on some kind of platform/wedge    ( ironing board?) at an 45degree angle so your head is closest to the floor, you do experience blood rushing to your head but if you get up very slowly its ok, another person is needed to help you get into position, i have tried this daily for 4 days now, baby seems to move around alot but not completly all the way.
~on the floor , be in hands and knees position but with elblows and palms of hands on the floor, rest your head on hands with bum in the air, again baby is pointing towards the floor and should want to turn.
~there is a homoepathic remedy called Pulsatilla 200 which people have said to have helped. Im going to try this so will let you know?
~Acupunture on the little toe, point ub67, but can be costly? and more than one visit required.
~swimming as meant to be good also.
Im keen to try anything to help, i know i have heaps of time left for baby to turn and if babys dosent turn then oh well, what will be will be
so if you havnt heard of any of these then thy maybe worth a try
good luck

Sometimes they don't turn because of other reasons, like a short umbilical cord. A c/s is not the end of the world, especially if you are prepared for it. At the end of the day, healthy babe, healthy mum is really all that matters. (From a mum who has had a c/s)

yea fingers crossed bubs has one week
