Think today is the day!!

[mummygeorgie]

Update again.. No bubs still in early labour! Feel like such a wuss, head had gone to being only 5/5 engaged and she twirled again and was back to back. MW gave me a sweep and i was in so much pain after that but wanted to come home and wait it out. Any tips on geting her head further down again? I know walking, birthin ball and stradling a chair.. X

I don't know any more tips than the few you've mentioned before. Just keep walking and hopefully she'll move downwards!!

The waiting must be so hard! Hope she makes an appearance soon!
IN my pregnancy pilates class I learned that squatting helps the baby move down as well. A proper buttox almost touching the floor squat, a la this http://atothejay.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/prayer-squat.jpg
We did a few variations, one you lean your back against the wall so you get support that way, another you grab on to something in front of you, a pole, pipe, beam - something sturdy. When you hold on to something that can help you get down into the position and back up again as well.. and the third one is that you grab your partners lower arms, and he grabs your lower arms, and you both lean back and squat at the same time, using each others weight as support.

Just sit there for a while doing some deep breathing and try to relax.

It's worth a try But maybe don't try it while you're home alone, if you haven't done it before.. just to get some support getting into the position!

The other lady who took the class with me said after we had done it that it felt like her baby had actually moved down. She was 39/40 weeks at the last class when she said that, so it could be true!

Good luck with everything
