That's what finally got my stubborn little girl turned.

He was turned until we were in a car wreck (rear ended by a lady going 45 and we were stopped). Do you think its to late for him to turn. This is my first and I am a little worried.

I have 6 children, none of which were born in a hospital. The last was born under water (loved it, by the way!) We had 3 different babies breech at some point during the final month. The Moxi sticks worked EVERY time. However, after heating the points on my toes, I put the coffee table upside down on the couch w/one end on the arm of the couch and lay on my back for 30 minutes. It always worked w/in 3 tries. Also, keep doing alot (at least 50 each time) of pelvic rocks on all fours to encourage the baby to stay in the proper birthing position. Angels all around for all of you new moms! Perhaps this will help some of you…

Those fears now gone, but have discovered my allegedly cephalic, fully engaged baby is in fact breech (bum first). So am going to try what the things you've said here. Had a textbook hypnobirthing delivery with my first, so this is a bit of a shock, but I suppose I am lucky in that I am not frightened by a C-sec. Would just prefer not to have one. Booked for one next Friday if baby doesn't turn (we've waited a long time for this little one) and whatever way gets it out safe and sound is fine by me. But many thanks for all the advice - many here which had not been recommended. Viv I was taken into hospital yesterday (39 weeks on Sunday) with suspected pre-eclampsia.

The little guy is breech and to make matters a bit more interesting, I have a uturus didyelphus. My OB says she can try an aversion but does not feel that she can do any good and is trying to prepare me for a very unwanted C-section. I am on my second week of moxibustion therapy and continue to do knee to chest positions daily but with no turn around. I’m at 37 weeks and this is my first child.

My 1st was frank breech unbeknownst to us so in we went for an emerg C-section. I am about 38 weeks now and have been trying everything this past week.....i am glad i found your site, it has given me some new hope that there still is time. I was starting to think that it is too late. The only thing I havent done is the acupuncture. Keep your fingers crossed and we'll keep trying!

This is my second child. My first one was vertex early in the pregnancy. This one has seemed to go back and forth. She was breech alot throughout the pregnancy but then she turned vertex and stayed that way for some time. At 30 wks she turned on me again. I am now going on 34 wks and she is still breech. I am just so upset about this. I didn't have to worry about this with my last daughter at all. I think about it all the time. I just want her to turn so badly. I am so scared she won't and I will need a c-section. I am trying different exercises and they are not working. I see alot about the breech tilt. Is the success rate for this high?

No it's not too late. My little monkey was still breech at 39 weeks. I would try some of these natural ways to turn a breech baby, and also if you can afford it I would find a good accupuncturist, who is familiar working with turning breech babies. You might also see if you can find someone who will give you moxi sticks. Those are what worked for me, and my VERY stubborn little one. Good Luck, Let me know how it turns out!! Jackie Nicole!
