My sis was breech with her second. They took her in overnight b4 she was going 2 have a section. They said there's no way baby can turn now. She had tummy like washing machine overnight and when they did quick check baby had turned and she didn't need c section. Had normal birth few days later, so it's never too late to turn! Don't worry yet. xx

Hi hun, my friend played music to her bump, literally held an ear phone just above the pubic bone! the music was pretty loud too as i remember, her midwife said it would encourage her lil boy dwn! she did it for about 15 mins, every couple of hrs for a about two days! i thought it was hilarious, kept winding her up about what a load of old rubbish it was! but sure enough he did move!

Hi, My baby is breech too and i'm nearly 27 weeks. My midwife said she wouldnt worry about baby being breech for another 8 weeks or so.I'm planning on having a c-section anyway but hope that puts your mind at rest that you aren't the only one! x

Like barbie82 said, a lot of babies are still breech at this stage. The best way to get her to turn is to spend as much time as possible on all 4s, sit with your pelvis higher than your knees and if you can manage it try doing some yoga (I used a good yoga DVD with my pregnancies) If she doesn't turn you can still have a natural birth- my mum delivered both me and my brother vaginally and we were both breech. Good luck x

I know it sound's strange but get down on your hand's and knees for about 15 min's twice a day and when your sitting don't slouch sit as upright a poss. This is ment to help get the baby into the best position. Lot's of babies are breech at this point but babies do usually turn, some even turn a few day's before there born x
