I had a growth scan yesterday which was fine, but baby is back to back. I'm 32 1/2 weeks so theoretically lots of time for baby to turn, but have history of premature labour (have actually never gone this far before without labour starting), baby's head is so far down the sonographer couldn't measure it, and I suspect she will be born within the next few weeks.
I know from experience that if she is premature, and I am therefore strapped to monitors for the whole labour, it is going to be really difficult to move around at all or to maintain positions in labour which will encourage her to turn, and I am getting a bit stressed that I am going to end up labouring on my back with a back to back baby and end up with an epidural and loads of interventions.
Am writing this leaning over my yoga ball and hoping lots of time on hands and knees might shift her - would be really encouraged to hear from anyone else who has managed to turn their baby before labour.
