38+ weeks and baby is now breech + chiro visit

I had a feeling that he was.  The OB confirmed my suspicions today.  She said she can try to turn him if I want her to.  She gave me the option of Monday or Thursday.  She also suggested moxibustion.  That was a little surprising.  I had just heard of it the other day.  I can also just wait it out...she didn't really say how long but I only have a little less than two weeks until my EDD. 

 I went to the chiro this week, but she wouldn't do Webster until after I knew for sure he was breech.  Now that we know, I have another appt next week to try it.  

I am a bit depressed about it.  There's no way of knowing if/when he will turn.  I am still at a 1+ and really high.  Not surprising since there isn't a little head putting pressure that direction anymore...I just get a few good kicks down low every now and again.  Sigh.  My babies just don't go for proper positioning.

    Is this not the first time you've had a breech baby? I just gathered this from the last sentence you wrote...

    Hope everything works out!

    DD was head down, but posterior.  I asked the OB today if she thinks my pelvis is just a weird shape that my babies can't figure out.  She was kind and said it is most likely not...my kids are just stinkers.  Something along those lines.

    You can also check out spinningbabies.com. Several people I know from the boards have had success using these techniques. Good luck!

    I seem to be in the same boat, though I'm only at 35 weeks.  This is my second pregnancy (a boy)  and this one also appears to be breech.  I found out that my first child (a girl) was breech at 40 weeks, so I feel a little more ahead of the game this time around, but also frustrated that I might have to go through the whole thing again.  I did moxibustion last time with no real affect but I was also at 40 weeks with not a whole lot of space for her to turn around.  I ended up having the dr trying to turn her.  It was successful except that she was then in brow presentation and I ended up having a csection anyway.  I'm hoping that this time I can use moxibustion or the webster approach, plus exercizes, to get him to turn.  Good luck!

    Good luck! Webster did work for me. About 12 hours after I had it done I felt baby do a giant sumersault - I was on the phone with someone telling them I didn't think it had worked and then, shazaam! Stick out tongue
