When one of my babies was head-up and bottom-down, the midwife suggested I try turning him. She said that doctors can sometimes manipulate kiddoes to turn them, but by this time my munchkin was too big and too far along for that. (Also, some doctors worry about the safety of that exterior manipulation.)
The midwife told me to lie on my back three times a day, about 15 minutes at a time, elevating the pelvis, oh, about 12 inches. The theory is that gravity will help Baby out of the settled-in position, and when Mommy stands up, gravity could bring the
[heavier-than-tuschie] head back down to the lower spot.
This doesn't work for everybody who has a breech baby. It's also important to have enough knowledge of your body, your baby's body, and be able to know through palpation your baby's position. You must know when Baby's head goes down so that you Stop Doing The Exercise. (Also, this is the internet, and I'm not giving medical advice, and all that jazz. I'm just saying, "This is what
I did and what worked
for me.")
Also, I think it's good to make your request to the Lord that He turn the baby.
