If your baby is breech...

Which do you think is better....

Having a chiropractor use the webster technique to turn the baby at 34 weeks

or...

Having your obgyn use muscle relaxers and try to turn the baby at 37 weeks?  I heard this is painful.

    i have been going to the chiroprator once a week and our little man was breech until 34 weeks our chiropractor got him to flip... i'm not sure if she used the webster technique or not to be honest but he flipped and that's all that matters :) whatever she did it didn't hurt at all!!!

    I would try a warm bath.  Lay in the bath tub and then take a bag of frozen peas and put it at the top of your belly.  It's supposed to cause the baby to move away from the peas and get into position.

    I would try all of the DIY techniques first.  The frozen peas in the tub, getting on all fours and putting your rear in the air and lowering your head to the ground while you rock your hips.  You can also go to www.spinningbabies.com and see some other ideas.  After a week of trying those, I would try the chiro.

    My baby is breech too, however my doctor truly believes babies are breech for a reason.  she gave me an example of a baby she delivered last week that was breech...he had his cord wrapped around his neck twice, so she said he probably tried to move but the cord choked him so he stopeed.  i dont plan on trying to turn my baby for that reason...oh-well i heard c-sections aren't THAT bad :(  i just dont want to get interefere with my babies well being.  plus i know exactly when he is coming out!  6 days and counting :)

    Some doulas do a 'breech massage' that helps to open up room for the baby to turn. I've heard amazing things about this, tho i haven't had it done personally.

    May be something to look into.
