How to flip baby around to optimal position?

Question

My babys spine is against mine and she’s in an odd position that isn’t allowing me to progress and causing back labor the midwife said. What are some things I can do to move her into the best position?

Answer

Get an excessive ball, kneel down, and lean over and hug the ball. This will let you tummy be suspended in the air and promote baby to turn! If your back hurts you can also rock back and forth in this position and it will help to relieve the pressure!

Answer

At my labor and delivery class, the instructor recommended the website spinningbabies.com. However, you'll want to discuss any of these positions with your care provider first.

Answer

Try a variation on child’s pose. It elevates your hips above your chest, which can help baby slip back out of the pelvis a bit and then reposition. It might also help relieve some of your back labor. You might need a pillow or bolster to support your belly, or to spread your legs wider. 
Check with your midwife frequently to see if baby has moved into a better position. Your labor won’t progress quickly in a position like this, because it helps baby re-engage from your pelvis and find a better position. Eventually you’ll need to switch to a position where gravity is pulling baby back down into your pelvis to progress. But this position will help you rest so you don’t wear yourself out waiting for baby to get better positioned.
