Pregnancy, baby in breech position at 32 weeks

Many babies start out breech and then turn when it's time for them to come. A friend of mine has 3 kids. Every one of hers was breech and turned while she was in labor. There are some ways to help your baby turn. The following links are ones I see recommended a lot on my pregnancy group. http://www.spinningbabies.com/ http://pregnancychildbirth.suite101.com/article.cfm/turning_a_breech_baby Depending on what type of breech your baby is, you may still be able to deliver without a C-section. There are a couple women on my pregnancy group that have done this.

well ask the dr. to turn the baby manually! it might help but it's not a guarantee!

Does your health care provider know how to do a manual aversion? It's when they actually turn the baby from the outside. It does carry some risks & would need to be done while an ultrasound is watching the baby, it can also be very painful for mom. But depending on exactly how the baby is positioned, it may be worth trying. Ask your doc/midwife if they do this or if they can refer you to someone who does. There are also chiropractic treatments to encourage turning a breech. Those are not as invasive as a manual turning, but still need to be done by a knowledgable professional. You can try 'talking' to your baby. I know it may sound a bit goofy, but moms & babies-to-be have a unique relationship and it seems our babies can 'hear' us and we can 'hear' them if we are open to it. It certainly can't hurt to try. You can also try using a flashlight- have your partner or friend use a flashlight against your belly (be careful it doesn't get hot) to trace a path of where the baby should move. Finally you can try various positions to encourage turning; such as hands & knees with your bottom in the air, or laying on the floor with a pillow for comfort under your head & hips & then angling your legs against a wall or the bed- you want your hips to be up off the ground & higher than your head. I'd discourage things that will encourage the baby to settle into his position- like long walks -just for now, once he turns you can take walks whenever you wish as long as you feel comfy. Best wishes & looking forward to hearing your baby turned for you and that you had a beautiful & amazing birth :)

I found this website to be very useful when I was pregnant. I hope it helps you also. http://www.americanpregnancy.org/labornbirth/breechpresentation.html

would you believe that my three kids were all in breech position when they were born? they had to cut me open for the delivery of my first child. but the second and third came out through epidural. the healing period of the c-section took longer compared to epidural because of the wound. but with epidural, i felt more pain during labor. it really is not easy giving birth to a child. but seeing the baby healthy makes mommies really proud..

I used something called baby plus, its a pricy item so you may not want to get it its about 150 buks, but the idea is that this thing send sound waves to your baby and placing it very low on your belly it is belived can cuse the baby to turn. This is not the primary use of this product, but it is a bonus. I think you could prob do the same thing with one of those bebe sounds things and play some nice classical music for an hour 2 times a day. Or some one could talk into it or you could read books, l;ike a dr sdeus.
