Footling breech?

Question

Second time mama, here; first time in this position. My older daughter had turned head down by 24 weeks. This baby is still footling breech at 29. I know that in an average pregnancy, most doctors wouldn't even be bothering with position this early, but I'm already high risk (hey, Crohn's disease, I see you...) and her position is causing me significant discomfort. Anyway, my OB said that, if she's not head down by 34 weeks, we'll start talking c-section.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get her to turn on her own?

Incidentally, in case anyone was curious, you can see baby girls' uteruses and ovaries on u/s at 29 weeks. There's a fun fact for the day.

Answer

I second spinning babies website. Modified downward dog yoga position is your friend. Also no need for csection when the Dr can help maneuver baby into position

Answer

Spinningbabies.com has lots of info and exercises on getting baby into best position.

Answer

With my last baby he was still breached at the last appt I had at around 35 weeks, 4 days later I went into labor (at 36 weeks by then) and he was head down. 
In those 4 days I got on my hands and knees and swung my hips back and fourth quite a bit.  I also went upside down against the wall to try to turn him (do it with someone else there to help you to be safe!) 
Those two things must have worked since he was head down when he came out 4 days later  lol

Answer

The dr can do an eversion to manually turn the baby head down.

Answer

They can be in many different positions until closer to birth. Especially super early when they flip and flop around.
