I have seen this around the web and it looks ridiculous but I'm definitely going to try it!@Sondi my second was breech (football/sideways whatever they call that one) for AGES, I did inversions and everything, nothing would change. Then my midwives suggested "Ironing board inversions" and you lay your ironing board on the edge of your couch and the other end on the floor so it's sloped (if you HAVE a ramp of some kind in your house this would work too) and you lay on it upside down (feet in the air, on your back) for as long as you can stand (you can be in this type of inversion longer than others, just be careful getting up. The longer you lay that way the more time they have to turn. I laid that way and played "oh Cecilia" to my crotch (babies will turn head towards music they say) and my next appt she was head down and never turned from that spot again!
just my $.02
I will try it! I have a couple exercises and positions to try now + apparently walking is good for turning them too.Try yoga? I had a friend who used this to turn her breech babies.
Y'all making me feel better <3 I am also desperately not wanting abdominal surgery recovery to go with my sleepless newborn!My daughter was breech, found out about two weeks before she was due. They scheduled a C-section the next week. I played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" over and over down there, hoping she would turn. I was scared to death of a C-section. I went in prepared for my C-section, came to terms with having one, was excited to meet her. Only to find out that she flipped. So I got to stay pregnant. LOL Had her on her due date naturally.
