Pregnancy Info HOME

thanks ladies for your responses. Well, I went in today (36 weeks) and the dr said the baby is still breech...last week, I had seen another dr in the same facility and he said the baby was head down...i dont know if last weeks' dr didn't know it, or maybe the baby has been doing somersaults! Anycase, today I got a sheet of paper with the couple of exercises, butt high with pillows and resting on all fours with head down on the floor. When I first did the head down one, I got dizzy (and good thing I was head down, else would have fallen down!). But the baby didn't seem to budge anywhere...then I tried lieing on my back with pillows below my butt and tried to gentle nudge the baby's head down...it seemed to have turned sideways but then after I took the pillows out and woek up, it turned right around. That little bugger!!! Anycase, tried it again in the evening and this time I nudged the baby some more after it became sideways (this time it took less pressure it seems to move it!). And eventually after some painful moves, the baby seemed to have turned. But being friday evening/night, when I called the dr office to check if they can see if the baby actually turned, the same dr as last week was on call and he said, we can't do anything about it now...we'll just check u next week (on wed when I go in). Also, at my appt today, the dr talked about the external version, but also pointed out that there are risks involved so may end up with emergency delivery if required during the procedure. I'm sooo nervous about this all, I just wish the baby was head down! My husband seems not be so nervous, he seems calm. Also, once the baby is turned, how do I make sure it stays that way and not turn back! thanks in advance ladies!
