Anyone had any success with baby flipping? Found out today baby's head is upright on my right side. Trying some exercises like pelvic tilts to get him to flip and drop. I'm 33 weeks. Really wanting him head down!!! :(

Birthing ball exercises, swimming and being on your hands and knees give baby more room to move around ☺️ if all else fails a chiropractor will be able to flip bubs they don't consider it a problem until 36 weeks anyway

Answer

Go to a chiropractor and get the Webster method done. It's designed to flip babies. My Chiro has flipped hundreds of babies using this method

Answer

I had asked my doctor about her turning my baby if he needs to be turned and she said there's a way for it to be done. However, she said to wait until 36 weeks to think about it because even if you get your baby to turn before then, there's a chance he could flip back or even kinda start to lay funny in the pelvis making pushing more complicated when it comes to labor/delivery. She said anything after 36 is fine to get him to turn because the likelihood of him being able to flip back due to lack of space is slim to none. Turning procedures also have a slight chance of naturally inducing labor so that's another reason why she waits. I second the spinningbabies website. It has lots of good stretches for you to try to get your baby to natural go down slowly but surely. The stretched also help with back pain which is amazing relief!
