Ways to make baby change position?

brownhairedmom · Aug 20th, 2008, 12:25 PM

Does anyone know what I can do to make this child of mine change positions? She's still laying horizontally, but as of last night she did a big flip and her feet are now facing my spine. Every time she kicks its like a big thud going right up through me! It doesn't hurt but it is friggen uncomfortable. Any ideas to get her facing front-ways again??

Tons of girls get tips from their midwife/doctor and excercises you do for the baby to turn...
I honestly don't know,Ann-Marie or Lisa will be able to tell you.

I think one fo them is doing headstands in the pool (do NOT try at home kids)...

I found my birthing ball great for getting my LO in a nice position!

Good Luck

Thanks girls. I haven't got a ball, although I should go get one because I'm sure once I hit 37 weeks I'm going to be living on it. I'll try the fours thing now and see if she flips again

u got ne kind of stool u could use in the mean time? Or turning a chair round so your leaning into the back of it may have the same effects. Don't know they will but hey worth a try!

My baby was breech at my 32 week mw appointment so I spent a lot of time on my hands and knees, bum in the air, very attractive! When I had my mw appointment this week at 34 weeks my mw now thinks baby is head down. I hope she's right coz baby doesn't feel any different to me but I guess she knows what she's feeling for so is hopefully right!
So basically I suggest trying getting down on all fours. God luck!

The only methods I've heard of are bouncing on a birthing ball, and getting "down and doggy" as Lisa would say! lol Hope she turns soon for you hun.

Thanks girls...I did the on all 4s thing. I don't know if she moved or if she's just sleeping and not kicking haha. I think she's just sleeping because I didn't feel any movement to indicate she moved like I did when she flipped yesterday
