inducing labour, turning baby

[catjosh]

Ok ladies, men whoever i need your help badly! I lost my plug a week ago, i was 2cm dialated 5 days ago and then 4cm dialated 2 days ago but not thinning alot, i have been scheduled for an induction in 3 days and if baby doeant turn will have to have a csection, i have sex at least twice daily, use EPO  every night for the last 3 nights, stimulate my nipples and walk and still nothing more then aome light contractions that eventually stop! Please can anyone recommend anything im not doing? And i know the whole you have to be patient he will come when he is ready but i had a really bad experience in my first pregnancy with being induced And my second labour was a breeze compared! (It was natural) so i am NOT looking forward to being induced

Thanks, my doctor has done an ecv but unfortunately no luck. Ive been booked in for a csection as baby isnt in a normal bum down breech

Has your doctor or midwife tried a version (ECV) procedure to try to turn the baby?

Try getting on all fours and rocking your pelvis. I've read and heard this helps encourage baby to turn. Try acupressure for getting your contractions regular. Press on the underside of your wrist, palm facing up, on the left side. It's about where your carpal tunnel is located. Also there is a spot on the inside of your ankle. Diagonally down from your inner ankle bone and your heel. It will feel tender. Press on it for about 10-20 seconds and release. Do it every couple minutes and you should start having some contractions. If you keep it up the contractions should be regular. This is also assuming baby is ready to come. Good luck.

Not sure how to start labor but turning I have a few ideas if you go to spinningbabies.com they have a while list if stuff. The pelvic tilt worked for me I'm 38 weeks and I just got her to turn. It hurt really bad but it worked

Oh and i need baby to turn so far he has only turned half way then comes back to breech
