Exercise ball?

Question

Iam 37 weeks and my back is killing me/so over being pregnant. My baby is still breech should I be sitting on the excersise ball or not? I know some people say they help you go into labour earlier, but if my baby is breech should I be sitting on it?

Answer

You need to discuss all your options with your doctor. Most hospitals don't allow breech births anymore - straight for a c section - especially if your like me and your babies head is measuring 3 weeks ahead (high risk of him getting his body out and his head getting stuck - worst nightmare in birth). They are attempting an external Cephalic version (manual turn of baby) at 37 weeks in a few days. First time mum so 50/50 chance of it working. If it works I can attempt normal vaginal birth, if not I'll be booked in for a C-section.

I tried everything to get him to turn - did all the spinningbabies.com exercises for weeks, moxibustion and accupuncture, oh and prenatal Aqua classes.

Answer

Absolutely!!!! It can help baby turn! I have one and it's seriously th best thing ever!!!!!
