Apologies if this has been done recently, I did a search but couldn't find a thread with any tips.


I'm 33 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby and he/she has been head up for ages. Aside from it being very uncomfortable (!) am getting a bit worried that it will stay that way! Very keen not to have a c-section for various reasons. I've looked at the spinning babies website but wondered if anyone has any advice re positions to assume and things to do!


Reassurance from people whose babies turned late is welcome too! I'm probably being paranoid but my daughter was head down from 28 weeks and can't help comparing...


Thanks!

Seb was head down from 20wks, but lex was transverse for the entire pregnacy. Was covinced she would never turn but she did at 36wks! Head down, completley engaged. For all the good it did...

Best friend is 34wks with her second, he's breech too. I think breech/oblique/transverse babies second time around are so so so common. Spinning babies website is excellent though, i'd give their tricks a go!!


Btw, I keep seeing you everywhere- goose green, sainsburys, but always in a manic dash so never say hello :/

Hi Crystal7, I know you are worried about breech but it doesn't have to end with a c section, many people have

normal deliveries. I can understand recent recommendations are advising c sections but the choice is still yours.


There is still time for baby to turn, my son turned later in pregnancy, while I was using a flotation tank.


Good luck.

Youngest snowboarder turned v late too - about 35/36 weeks from breech/transverse. I tried the spinning babies positions..but...well, not easy when 33weeks preggers!!


So no real good advice except for as above - second babies seem to hang about a bit in terms of positioning themselves....

There was a concern that Pickle was breech, though it turned out he was just pretending. I went swimming (lots of handstands, looking ridiculous), had acupuncture and moxibustion (which definitely did something, Pickle wriggled loads, and spent lots of time at home with my bum in the air (see looking ridiculous). Went for a scan and he was head down.

Well today baby C7 was head down according to the midwife- hopefully s/he will stay like that. Thanks for all your tips!


Some of the positions suggested in the spinning babies site are incredibly difficult- anyone tried the ironing board one?? Not sure I could do that pre pregnancy!

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
