Any Tips of Turning a Breech baby? anything that worked for you?


Hey girls as you may already know my child is being stubborn lol
I have to go and see the consultant on Monday which gives me a few days to try and get her to turn lol
I really had my heart set on a natural labour.
I've been offered a ECV but I dont feel happy with her being forced like that.
So wondered if any of you have tips to share or know anything that had worked for you
xxxx

I was told with my eldest i was going to have to have a c-section. I was really upset, my mother in law is a homeopath and she gave me remedies to turn him. I didnt think they would work but within 24 hrs he had turned. I actually felt him turn. Now i dont know if he would of done this anyway or if it was in fact the remedies but it cant hurt! Good luck hun!

I know a few people that have had success using moxibustion (its a holistic therapy but I dont know much about it so its best if you google it yourself) xx

Its a bit of a long winded explanation but apparently it works!

Webster’s Technique

The contemporary chiropractic technique used for turning breech or other adverse foetal presentation is called the "Webster In-Utero Constraint Turning Technique" or Webster’s technique after Dr. Larry Webster. Dr. Webster reports effecting successful version in 97% of breech presentations, documented successful versions by other chiropractors is 82%.
The first step is to confirm presentation of baby and acquiring a maternal history of the pregnancy and other relevant factors is mandatory. When the baby is found to be in a breech presentation, the Mother is assessed clinically to determine, and correct, sacral alignment. The Mom then turns on her back and the baby’s location is determined in relation to her belly button. The trigger point for the rectus abdominus muscle is then found on the Mom’s left side and the chiropractors thumb is placed on this point. Pressure is exerted gradually and evenly straight down until the trigger point is found and pressure is maintained, but shifted slightly inward to isolate the broad ligament. As little as 3 to 6 ounces of pressure is often sufficient to induce relaxation of the trigger point. Pressure is maintained for a minimum of one to two minutes, more as necessary on evaluation of the trigger release, even up to 35 minutes. If little or no foetal movement is felt, some counter pressure with the opposite hand can be applied on the uterine wall opposite the side of the trigger point.
Following the adjustment, Mom is again assessed for sacral alignment and in most cases the alignment is achieved. If not, another sacral adjustment is needed. Additional adjustments should not be performed on the same day as the Webster technique. As little as one procedure may work, but typically it can take from three to ten adjustments performed over a two to three week period. Thus it is important to initiate this technique as soon as possible and know that it is harder for the baby to move close to term.

The cleaning on all fours is a good idea...my MIL told me my SIL was breech until 37 weeks and she got on all fours which gave baby just enough extra room to manoeuvre, and after being on her hands and knee's for a couple minutes swaying....

she felt a huge pressure and baby turned herself around!

All she needed was that tiny little bit of extra space to swing herself round!!

Im going to really embarass myself here but what the heck... Its interesting what has been said about being on all fours... my baby was 'firmly transverse' (as midwife put it) until last week.. the OH and I had a bit of rumpy pumpy (lol!) in the good old doggy style a few days ago and afterwards baby had turned!! I literally went from being all bump at the sides to all bump at the front - so she literally got 'jiggled' around into the correct position! Might be fun giving it a go if you are feeling up to it!!
