Breech Position

[Apricot_Brandy]

Hi,

I'm less than a month away from the delivery date, but baby is still in breech position. I would prefer a natural birth to a c-section.

Does anyone know of exercises that I can do between now and the delivery date, to encourage baby to turn to a head-down position?

Thank you.

These two exercises are what i read before during my pregnancy tat says will help baby to turn: (Please do these only if u r fit.....)

• 12. Cat stretch - start with all fours, then lay your head and chest flat on the floor with your buttocks in the air, as you round your back and return to all fours.

• 13. Knee-chest position - by kneeling with hips flexed slightly more than 90 degree, but with thighs not pressing against your tummy and your head, shoulders and upper chest are flat on a mattress for 15 minutes every two waking hours for five days.

My gynae said it better if head down by week 32th (8th month) some at week 36th( if by week 36th scare no much place to turn down).

Heh heh, thanks! I tried massaging tummy in clockwise motion, going on fours for about 10 mins a day, and talking to baby. Glad it works.

My bb is still breech ley. Really doing those exercise help huh?? Im already 33wks liao.

I guess it also helps not to worry too much, stay positive and talk to baby often. Let nature do its wonders. Even if going on fours doesn't help turn your baby, it will reduce the stress on your back. Why don't you give it a try?
