Posterior baby flipping

spartybride3 · April 2014

Today is my due date & last night the baby decided to flip face up instead of facing my left side/back like she has for most of the pregnancy. I could tell because I could now see her little arm and leg indents in my belly and it is all soft in the middle. I already know she is head down -1 as of Thursday.

I saw the spinning babies website, but there are so many techniques I don't know which ones to use. I've heard of doing cat/cow poses but I do those daily for a back problem & they haven't seemed to help prior to this. Which positions work??? Thank you!

I wouldn't panic. Many many babies rotate in labor (most will). If baby is head down, that's great! And even if baby doesn't rotate, you can deliver a "sunny side up" baby. Remember that your position in labor - hands and knees or squatting vs. being on your back - makes a HUGE difference.

Cat/cow poses and in general spending time on hands and knees really does help.

My childbirth class instructor recommended crawling back and forth across the floor on your hands and knees for this. Worth a try! Good luck!
