Back to back
Hi everyone,
Hope you are all well, I went to see my GP yesterday, the baby has gone from being 3/5s engaged and in the correct postion at 36 and 38 wks to now being completely unengaged (free?) and back to back - does anyone have any tips for turning the baby?
Have been leaning over my birthing ball and rocking but the GP said that my midwife cannot even give me a sweep until the head becomes engaged and to expect to go well past my due date. (tomorrow)

My baby is in the same position and has been for ages (I'm 38+6) so I don't know whats gonna happen. I tried cleaning the floors on my hands and knees sticking my bum up just in case it would work!! What a sight for sire eyes but anything other than have to have this baby wrong way round.
Has your GP/MW mentioned whether they will let you deliver naturally if baby doesn't turn or will it be a c- section??? Mine hasn't so just wondering
Tips to turn LO:
Don't slouch, always sit with straight back, unfortunately this includes slobbing out on the sofa.
Spend as much time on all fours as poss, I used to alternate between leaning over back of sofa, kneeling forwards and leaning over my gym ball.
Try to keep your knees below your hips.
Sleep on your side, preferably the left (I have no idea why).
Bounce on gym ball or gyrate your hips.
Good luck x
