Please help, I'm terrified.
Hi guys, I've just been for my 31 week scheck up and although everything is fine the baby is lying back to back. Millie was back to back and I had the most horendous birth and she had to be take n to special care because she wasn't breathing. I've been a bit scared all along this time but I kept telling myself it would all be different and now it's not. I'm absoutley teriified and I don't know what to do. As soon as I got in the car I burst in to tears and now I feel sick and hot and shakey, I'm just so scared of having to go through the same thing again. Does any one have any idea how I can get the baby to turn?

You've got heaps of time for baby to turn. I am also worried this will happen again so have done a wee bit of research ( a lot of the mum's at my mother and toddler group also had the same with their first births) So you need to get a birthing ball, you need to spend a good few hours a week bouncing on it and also sleep on your left side.
I'll google it and see if i can find anymore info.
Try not to worry hun cos you've got heaps of time for baby to move! xxxx
Hope all works out and baby turns for you. Try not to worry and get upset hun (easy for me to say I know.)

Tammi, if you don't mind the leaflet would be great. My email is kerrylgould@yahoo.co.uk
I've already been bouncing on the birthing ball and trying to sleep on my left as I knew that was supposed to help. Maybe I'll see if I can just stay on the birthing ball for the next 2 months!
like everyone else has said the crawling on all fours is definately supposed to help (I spend a good 10min doing this at my preg yoga classes and one of the girls in my class had a breech baby at 37 weeks, she crawled around everyday for 10 min and the baby turned four days later). Though obviously getting down adn up can be fun!!!
Also my cousin who is a midwife recommended acupuncture as a good proven method of turning the baby.
like you said sleeping on your left also helps.
fingers crossed babe, and if i hear/see/think of anything else I'll let you know.
also my yoga class people do a birth rehersal where they help you emntally prepare for your labour, and its is really supposed to be helpful in helping you feel in control and ease worries especially if you've had a bad experience before.
lots of hugs,
em xxxx

Shaz, I'm actually nearly as worried about the idea of having a section! Don't like the idea of someone rummaging around in my insides and the thought of trying to entertain my toddler if we cant't go out in the car anywhere is not good one lol.
I'm starting to feel a lot calmer now so thank you everyone for all your ideas. Hopefully I can persuade him to turn but if not I guess I'll just have to cope!

Good luck honey - as others have said, 2nd babies can change position very very late!
