Turn a Breech Baby

If your little one is head-over-heels in the womb and you're not thrilled about the idea of your doctor performing a breech maneuver, put ice packs on the top of your belly where his head is. Many moms swear this makes baby squirm away from the sudden frost, before the doctor has to shove that little rebel around.

I like what ICMamaMel has to say. However, the audacity of some people really takes your breath away sometimes, and it can be hurtful especially at this sensitive time in your life. People seem to think if you're pregnant, you're fair game for all kinds of comments about your physical appearance. As one person told me, the only thing you should ever say to a pregnant woman about her appearance is she looks beautiful.

I'm being induced...but the way things are going it looks like it might be next year! They keep bumping back my appointment! I'm not a high priority on there list because of all the emergencies...Just waiting for the call telling me to come in...i bet it'll be the one night I'm finally relaxed and feeling somewhat good...*sigh* wish this baby would just pop out naturally...

I don't trust anything from a spray can, even those new green ones. I say mix your own or use soap and water. I too thought that guy comment was not nice

I used a gym ball. I sat on it, rollin my hips backwards and forwards. also side to side. apparntly it opens the pelvis slightly and allows baby to turn and get head in reight place! worked for me and only took an hour a day for a week!
