Help to turn the presenting twin

jen220 · Feb 24, 2011 5:06AM

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I am currently 34+3 with Fraternal twins. The presenting twin is lying sideways and has been for a few months. My consultant is booking me in for a C-Section at 38 weeks. I have two children already that have been born normally so I am very keen to try and avoid having a section.

Does anyone know of an effective way to try and encourage my little lady to turn head down????

I was told this was very hard as the twins don't really have any room.

I was a bit different as twin one had his head down but was back on back. I was told to lean forward on a ball. I did this for hours every day - it didn't work.

I ended up with an emergency c section after 24 hours in established labour

Really didn't want one, but twin two had a slight dip in heart rate for a second and the docs didn't wanna take any risks.
