My sincerest congratulations to you Jo in the birth of Alec. May Alec be blessed with much love, peace and happiness.

Power to the woman !!

  Some time ago I asked about turning a  breach and got a lot of 
  helpful information for my friend.  Her baby turned just prior to the 
  birth and she delivered vaginally although the cord was around babies 
  neck.
  It may be an idea to check the archives as there seem to be so many 
  different things to try, I can't recall them all.  
   
     
  Unfortunately for my friend there was a problem with the babies 
  weight gain/loss and the baby has been diagnosed as totally Blind.  
  He had a failure to thrive and as his eyes rolled they thought he was 
  having seizures at first.  The blindness seems to have been a 
  congenital problem not caused by the birth at all.

  Based Advice Question on Breech Baby
   Hi All,Yet another question from me for a friend 
  who is imminently expecting. Sheis 37 wks (maybe a touch under) with a 
  breech baby and unsuccessful ECV.Apparently baby is breech with legs 
  extended (feet beside ears), and 3attempts to turn were unsuccessful 
  (this was attempted yesterday). Thisbaby is her second - and baby #1 
  was delivered vaginally with nocomplications - 8lb+She is 
  being told caesar is the way to go, though she is 
  desperatelydisappointed.I mentioned acupuncture to try, and I 
  wondered if there is anyone out therewho can help in providing 
  contacts of anyone who is likely to be able tohelp turn this baby - 
  she is willing to try (almost!) anything.Thanks in 
  advance,Jo(I am now a mother of two! Second baby born March

Melbourne Based Advice Question on Breech Baby

[Jo Slamen]

Hi All,

Yet another question from me for a friend who is imminently expecting.  She
is 37 wks (maybe a touch under) with a breech baby and unsuccessful ECV.
Apparently baby is breech with legs extended (feet beside ears), and 3
attempts to turn were unsuccessful (this was attempted yesterday).  This
baby is her second - and baby #1 was delivered vaginally with no
complications - 8lb+

She is being told caesar is the way to go, though she is desperately
disappointed.

I mentioned acupuncture to try, and I wondered if there is anyone out there
who can help in providing contacts of anyone who is likely to be able to
help turn this baby - she is willing to try (almost!) anything.

Thanks in advance,

Jo
