Tangerine Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Has anyone had success (or at least did the baby eventually swim downstream) with any of the techniques for turning babies? I'm making a chiropractic appointment to get Webster, and my husband is doing moxibustion on me (his dad is an acupuncturist). I will stand on my head if I must, but it makes me feel as if I'm suffocating. :glare: ETA: I'd love to hear both from the "I did this and the baby turned" and the "I did this and it never turned" camp.

mama2cntrykids Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yes, I did with this last baby. I went to spinningbabies.com and did the stuff on there. I prayed also! She flipped near the end of my pregnancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 My midwife had me doing some exercises there at the end. I carried a 9 pound baby in a small frame who was turned the wrong way on his 'due date' but managed to right himself before I went into natural labor 5 days after that. I don't know if the exercises helped, or if I just got lucky. I'm sorry I can't remember the exercises, but they do exist and I'm sure someone here will know.

Tangerine Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 I have been to spinningbabies. I will be adding those as well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsJewelsRae Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I had clothes pins on my toes, inverted on an ironing board, put frozen peas on top of my belly and music playing at the bottom, hands and knees, squats, etc to no avail while pg with my third. He was kneeling breech at 36 weeks and I had anterior placenta so I could not get a version, though I tried applying gentle pressure to encourage him to turn. I had the Webster done at 37 wks along with an adjustment and immediately afterwards he was super squirmy and jiggly- more than he'd been in weeks, he flipped to head down within 3 hours of the treatment! He stayed that way and was born naturally at 41 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 mine eventually turned on her own. (she liked being stretched out. even as a newborn - she was stretched out, not scrunched up.) I've a friend whose dd turned the night before her scheduled inversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 My 3rd turned in the last couple weeks before delivery after using SpinningBabies a couple of days. He stayed in the same position for every single ultrasound (we had several) since 12 weeks. We loved laying like a hammock. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
