It's been a week... since my last check up, and tomorrow, we'll be going to the doctors for my weekly. i do pray hard that Valerie would be in position.
Went on the internet and found a bunch of information on breech babies and many other ways to encourage baby to turn besides the 3 that the doctor suggested.
1. Play music, preferably with headphones, placing them low down on uterus. --> played music but no headphones...but I do place the BabyPlus pretty low, hope that helps too.
2. Shine a very bright light low down on uterus, or even between her legs. --> haven't done this yet... waiting for Paul to help out.
3. Have someone (preferably the father) talk loudly but soothingly to the baby, low on the belly, close to the skin, telling the baby to turn around, to come towards the voice (have also heard that commanding works). --> also waiting for the father to do it.
4. Have a chiropractor perform the Webster technique as appropriate. --> have already went 2 consecutive times but no positive results... doc said usually will take a few sessions... but it really all depends on Valerie.
5. Get into a warm pool walk into the water until up to shoulders. Then have her dive down to the bottom of the pool. As she is deweighted so is the baby and the heavy part of the baby (the head) will go into the pelvis. --> have not tried this yet.. too cold.. brrr brrr brrr
6. Hypnotherapy is supposed to work really well because of the relaxation it induces more than anything else. --> Paul doesn't believe in this, and furthermore, no insurance coverage.
7. Laying on her back on a board or using pillows so that her head is about 40 degrees lower than her feet. --> have been doing this in the morning before I get out of bed.
8. Do "knee-chest exercises". It is to have the woman on her elbows and knees, so her hips are higher than her head, and to stay in that position for 15-20 minutes a few times a day. --> have also been doing this but is a little more uncomfortable than NO.7
9. Place a cold pack where the head is. The cold is suppose to make the baby uncomfortable therefore having baby move away from the cold (which it at the top) and then place a hot pack at the bottom of the uterus, therefore encouraging baby to move towards the warm part. --> Have not try this yet, a little skeptical but will try if I'm desperate.
There's alot of other techniques... but some I personally find it very bogus... so don't bother to write it out.
Anyways, if this is God's plan... so be it... as long as Valerie comes out a healthy girl.
