Acupuncture to turn breach baby?

Bettie

My daughter was undiagnosed breech and was born naturally though the midwife did call in the hospital doctor to deliver the baby.

My son was breech and as I already had a two year old I didnt want a section. I discussed the situation with my midwife and she supported me in requesting a vaginal birth. My consultant was v reluctant at first but after several attempts to turn him finally agreed. He was born after being induced at 37 weeks after a few complications and is now a 6ft 15 year old. So please get your midwifes support and stick to what you want for your birth experience.

DD was breech, 7 years ago, and although I cannot remember the exact figures, your experience is very common.

I opted not for the turning, as my MW was actually dead against it, and I thought "ah well that's the way she wants to be" so had a c section.

Am 30 weeks gone again, and not entirely sure I would be so casual about it this time round :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
