Update on stuck baby

Just got back from the dr. and she said it's normal for the baby to be stuck in one position as long as I feel other movement, which I do. Her elbow (or knee) has been pushed out to a point to the right of my belly button all week. I'll just have to deal with being uncomfortable for about 6 more weeks. The dr. offered another ultrasound in 2 weeks so I just might take her up on it to see how the baby's positioned. I'm also curious to see her one last time before she arrives =)

    Does your dr think that she'll move in time for her entrance into the world?  Would you be interested in having a version to move her if not?  I know that you are planning for a natural birth as I am, so I've been parnoid about the baby's position for the past month, especially after I found out that they will not deliver a breech baby vaginally in the Philly area.

    Have you tried playing music on your belly to move her?

    The dr. said at 36 wks if she hasn't turned then they'll do the version but for now she's not concerned. If she doesn't turn I'll definitely have to get a c-section she said. This is when I wish I could birth at Ina May's Farm!

    Also yes, I've been playing lots of music for her throughout the pregnancy (she loooooves michael jackson especially), but I guess she's found one position she really likes for now. 

    I'll definitely get the ultrasound in 2 weeks to make sure everything's ok.

    I had one g/f who tried everything and her LO would not move.  Others though, have sworn by yoga...? It may be worth a shot..

    If it was in driving distance and DH didn't think the idea was completely insane, I'd totally be there!  I really would have preferred a home birth or one in a birthing center the more I read about childbirth, but DH wouldn't hear of anything other than a hospital.

    Let's hope she moves on her own in the next couple of weeks!

    Didn't Crisitina get her LO to move by talking through a paper towel roll?  Someone had a trick like that... and one with flashlights.

    Have you tried a bath or swimming/ being in a pool?  I know my LO would move all around for my when I was in the bath.  I know it is harder for both you and her at this point, but it may be worth a try.  I hope she flips for you soon. GL!
