How to get baby into anterior position

[lexi88]

Anyone know ways I can get baby too be 100% anterior position.
He is soooo close just need to turn a tiny winy bit.
He is facing the left head down (engaged) with back on the side and bum on side kinda on front.

Anyone know any ways to encourage him into the anterior position?

Info on anterior postiong for those who dont have a clue (like me lol)
In an anterior position, your baby fits snugly into the curve of your pelvis. During labour, your baby will curl his back over and tuck his chin into his chest. Your labour and birth should progress easily if your baby is in this position because:

The top of your baby's head puts rounded, even pressure on the neck of your uterus (cervix) during contractions. This helps your cervix to widen and helps to produce the hormones you need for labour.


At the pushing stage, your baby moves through your pelvis at an angle so that the smallest area of his head comes first. Try putting on a tight polo-neck top without tucking in your chin and you'll understand how this works!


When your baby gets to the bottom of your pelvis, he turns his head slightly so that the widest part of his head is in the widest part of your pelvis. The back of his head can then slip underneath your pubic bone. As he is born, his face sweeps across the area between your vagina and back passage (the perineum).

dont slouch, sit forward on your chair, avoid any kind of lying on your back. get onto all 4's - this is what my yoga teacher tells us!

The m/w at my antenatal class said:

Sit upright/leaning slightly forward
Try sitting the wrong way on a dining chair (straddling it, facing the backrest)
Don't slouch on the couch
Don't lie on your back in bed

Her reasoning:

The baby's back is the heaviest part and is more likely to go into a back-to-back position if you lean/sit/lie backwards

My baby was in this position last week. But now I can feel she has moved. she's now in anterior.

I use my ball everyday. I bounce in it, or roll my hips. It really helps.
I also found that kneeling down on all fours with my head on the ball, and slowly rocking back and forward helped.

Being on all fours iss supposed to help too x x

William was postier and this one is also postier (sp)? but I tried everything and never got William turned, though I did read the same about not sitting back and lying on your side to get baby to turn helps.
