Karleen, I almost posted the same question last Thursday night! Just this past Thursday, August 23rd, my sister in law was told her baby had changed from head down to the transverse position ( belly down, head on right, feet on left). Doc wanted to do an emergency c- section because she is due on the 30th and he will be on vacation. She said NO! I'll wait a week! She first tried the knee-chest position,kneeling and leaning forward until your head rests on your folded arms (your head will be lower than your bottom). You may have to spread your knees to accommodate your late-pregnancy abdomen. Assume this position for 15 minutes, three times a day, the first time before arising in the morning and preferably with a full bladder. The slight weight of the full bladder is thought to encourage the fetus to turn. Do this for 7 days. She also would lie in this tilt position for 10 minutes twice a day. With an empty stomach lie on your back on the floor, knees bent so that feet are flat on the floor, the mother puts three good-sized pillows under her bottom. Once the baby has turned discontinue the exercise. She went in to be checked today (Aug. 29th) because she wanted this doctor to do the c-section, if it had to be done, before his vacation tomorrow. Her baby has returned to head down! Now she is just hoping she (a little girl is expected)will stay this way until delivery. The doc actually said 'let's just let nature take it's course'. (Probably because he is going to be on vacation now). Hooray! Whether these exercises worked or helped is a mystery but hopefully they will help your sister in law, too Cheryl Marian *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
