Turning a breech baby

So yesterday, we had the doctor turn our baby.

I am 36+4 and my baby has always been head high.

I'd been given home exercises, torchlight tricks and Chinese medicine cigars. Nothing worked.

We were then directed to a specialist who turns the baby.

2 hours of scans and monitoring each side, the 15 minute procedure was reasonable simple, but painful. The doctor literally jabbed his fingers into my stomach and pushed the baby.

My sister in law went through the same thing but was unable to complete it.

It is amazing how much less stress is on my body as the baby now sits in the right position.

Heartburn and reflux have not returned, I can walk and bend more comfortably and breathing is easier.

I also see the kicks more when I lay down.

We are glad to have a chance at a natural birth now (fingers crossed)

But if anyone was considering having the turn i would recommend it.

Judt remember to relax and be open to all options.
