How can I get my breech baby to turn??

I know doulala has a lot of informatin about this, so she'd be a great person to ask.

Here's what I found googling though: http://pregnancychildbirth.suite101.com/article.cfm/turning_a_breech_baby

I really don't think it matters.  You still have so much time that she could turn head down, then the next day turn again.  I wouldn't worry till you need to

I agree with the pp, it's too early. Your baby still has tons of room and will probably just keep flipping around. A lot of people find good info on www.spinningbabies.com I looked on their this morning because my baby is still breech (I'm 33 weeks), it's interesting. My last baby flipped about 2 days before I went into labor...so it's still REALLY early for you to worry!

Way too early. Baby kinda does what baby wants. My ds was head down all the way up til the night before delivery then he decided to be difficult and flip head up again. I should have known than that he was gonna be a challenging child LOL

You can do pelvis rocking on a birth/exercise ball and get on all fours and rock hips side to side. Chiropractic care also helps. I am sure your baby will turn naturally but if you want to feel like you are helping the baby along those things are something you can do daily.

Sorry, but have to agree with the op's. Too early. I'm 25 weeks with my 2nd boy and ATLEAST once a day he flips in the opposite direction! lol Right now he's head down (a little diagonal) but I bet you anything he'll be feet down in a couple hours! I have heard that once the baby's close to delivery, there are exercises you can do though1

 check out spinningbabies.com i found some stuff on there that i tried. and it is early like you said, but you could just reference some stuff for later

:-D    Thank you Pandapanda!

 

A lot of moms do ask this--    and really Laura Ann, it is so early it doesn't make much difference!   ;-)    

If you want to keep at it, you can do some exercises.     Later, in the last month or two, you can try more "agressive" attempts, if you like.

 

Moxibustion study.  Check out those results!!

and here's something about The Webster Technique (chiropractor):

OBJECTIVE: To survey members of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA); regarding the use of the Webster Technique for managing the musculoskeletal causes of intrauterine constraint, which may necessitate cesarean section. METHODS: Surveys were mailed to 1047 US and Canadian members of the ICPA. RESULTS: One hundred eighty-seven surveys were returned from 1047 ICPA members, constituting a return rate of 17.86%. Seventy-five responses did not meet the study inclusion criteria and were excluded; 112 surveys (11%) provided the data. Of these 112 surveys, 102 (92%) resulted in resolution of the breech presentation, while 10 (9%) remained unresolved. CONCLUSION: The surveyed doctors reported a high rate of success (82%) in relieving the musculoskeletal causes of intrauterine constraint using the Webster Technique. Although the sample size was small, the results suggest that it may be beneficial to perform the Webster Technique in month 8 of pregnancy, when breech presentation is unlikely to spontaneously convert to cephalic presentation and when external cephalic version is not an effective technique. When successful, the Webster Technique avoids the costs and/or risks of external cephalic version, cesarean section, or vaginal trial of breech.In view of these findings, the Webster Technique deserves serious consideration in the health care management of expectant mothers exhibiting adverse fetal presentation.     click here:  Webster Technique
