Breech at 35 weeks

Just found out that baby is in breech position at 35 weeks. If she's still breech at 36 weeks I'll be sent for an ECV. Does anybody have any ideas of anything I can do before then to encourage her to turn?

Thanks for your comments ladies. I'm trying a combination of things to encourage my little girl to turn. Trying hips above shoulders positions, a cold pack on top of bump and moxibustion (midwife suggestion) we'll find out on Thursday whether any of these have worked.

There are positions and exercises you can do. Google them or ask your midwife/doc. My friend was in this situation and she did them and her baby turned.  Good luck. :-)

I'm also considered breech at 39 weeks.  My doctor insists the baby is small enough and has opted to wait until 41 weeks to step in.  I'm hopeful :).  I stretch and try sitting in differen't positions but nothing has worked at this point.  Good luck!

She may turn on her own, usually they can turn the baby, if not then you will need a c section. Best of luck to you
