The baby is already in the head down position he is just face up, instead of his face being face down where he is looking towards my back. I won't do a c section because i have no help afterwards and i have 2 other children one 5 and rhe other 2 and i know with stitches they wont last with my everyday activities even if im really careful. I've heard about them turning the baby manually just havent found anyone that has had any luck with a baby being back to back. I've heard they can still be born naturally but its just more painful and usually go past ur due date, but it seems my doctor doesnt even want to try for a natural birth at all

Kim Kardashian West had a procedure called an external cephalic version (ECV) which is done to manually turn the baby from a breech position to a head down position. You can google for more info abut ECV.

Hi,
Well C-Section is the option now. I dont why you are not willing. My cousin had malpositon and had to do C-Section, but atm she is fine with a healthy baby.

All the Best,
Thank you
