Turning breech baby

Has anyone had a breech baby in the 3rd trimester flip successfully without an ECV? I’ve been trying lots of different things, but haven’t heard any success stories. Has anyone had luck with a particular method?

    I'm also on my 3rd trimester (34 weeks) and ultrasound says my baby is in breech position. I haven't really tried doing anything about it. My doctor says it could still change and most babies turn head-down by around 36 weeks. I'm hoping and praying that is the case for me.

    Sorry my comment did not help much. But I wish both of us best of luck and have a safe delivery!

    Good luck! I had a footling breech two pregnancies ago and tried going to a chiropractor, but it was too late by the time they caught it and ended w a c-section. It ended up being a blessing bc she had a knot in her umbilical cord. Was hoping for a second vbac, but it doesn’t look promising. I’m 5 days into using Pulsatilla and doing a few inversion exercises/pelvic tilts a day.
    I’ve heard it takes about two weeks for Pulsatilla to have an effect.
    I’ve known since 24 weeks and have been sleeping with a peanut ball, and it obviously hasn’t fixed anything. Not going to give up, though! Dr said try not to squat so they don’t engage into the pelvis the wrong way.

    I’ll let you know if anything works! Good luck!

    Yes my first baby was breech and he turned just at 38 weeks.  Literally 1 day before my c-section.  I was so happy and went onto giving birth naturally a month later.

    I was breech around week 32. I used several videos on spinningbabies.com and learned some stretches and did a few 20 second couch inversions daily. I also did 2 visits to a chiropractor that specializes in The Webster technique. By week 34 my baby had flipped! I’m at week 35 now :) hopefully we don’t flip
