 " Mom wants a perfect birth  and is so desperate to turn this baby they had her in a pool doing head stands for
three hours the other night (she's due in 11 days!!!)"

 can't tell you the herb but can tell that the water thing is not this complicated.  our last was "sittin' pretty" breech
to her due date.   finally, connections led to a midwife suggesting that we go to a pool and  float around for
about 45min to an hour.  afterwards, we went home and i laid down on the bed and used pillows to elevate my
hips 15"  to 18 " off the bed...this was a trick in itself.   the baby turning looked like a mountain alive.   she was
born in  normal position 10 days later, 9 lbs.15ozs., 23" long.   this worked for us the first time that we tried it.
it does not always do this.  the midwife said that it may take a few tries and then might not work.  i am 5'4" tall
and really short waisted and was prepared for it not to work.  i thought that the baby was packed in there and
permanently positioned.    tell you what, getting out of that pool was a challenge...~ mary
