Help getting baby to move head down?

[(*)FebBaby(*)]

At my last 2 midwife appointments my little girl has been head down but when I went last week she wasn't - and since then I have had the most painful pain under my rib

Is there anything that I can do to make her move head down? I am really worried about having to have a ceaserean (sp)

Any advice?

birthing ball

If she is breech you want to lie with your hips higher than your head for a period every day- this website might help-

Crawl around on your hand and knees round the house is supposed to help them turn or using a birthing ball.

I second the hands and knees position and any positions that allow more space in your pelvis for baby such as forward leaning positions.

I used a excercise ball ever day and just bounced like mad on it.

Dylan didn't engage till the last minute..i used a birthing ball and it seemed to really shift him..my labour was 2 hours 20 mins so don't think it will have any impact on your time in labour

sit in a squatting position like this

it really opens pevis, but dont do it if baby is back to back as u want to avoid letting them engagde whilst hes the wrong way as its harder to turn them
