Time to Flip

My girls have both been breech for the last week or so. I think Baby A is trying to break out early with the force of kicks she gives my cervix. She may be smaller, but she's feistier than B. I'm hoping I can get them to flip, but they seem perfectly content where they are. I want them to flip not only because I don't want a csection, but also because I miss seeing the huge kicks. You can't see them when they're all directed at your cervix.

I SO remember that. I hope that at least Baby A flips for you! My Baby B finally flipped but A stayed stubbornly breech. C-sections are no fun...Good luck!

Have you gone onto spinningbabies.com? Also, my chiropractor has an excellent reputation for turning breech babies. I dunno how he does it, but he does. Maybe there is someone around your area that does the same?

I've been all over the internet

One of the first things I did when I found out that I was having twins was to look up chiropractors in the area that specialized in flipping babies. I don't know how I found them, but I have a list of 3 or 4. I've been looking at the sites that Shanna suggested a while ago. The more time I spend inactive, the more they seem to like to be butt down. Tonight I'm going to start freezing them

One site suggested putting a cool pack on the top of your belly and a warm one at the bottom to try to encourage them to move their heads to a more comfortable place. I'm going to be the granola type person who tries everything in hopes to get them to turn. My doctor wants both heads down to deliver vaginally.

I know a csection isn't the end of the world. If I have to have one, I have to. No big deal. I'd rather have two healthy babies than refuse a csection if my doctor feels like it's the best thing at the time. I do want to be somewhat proactive to try to encourage them to sit properly. We keep telling them that no one likes a crotch kicker, but so far they don't seem to care.
