Has anyone hired a Kneeler Rocker to move a "back to back" baby?

Hi. I was sent a copy of an Optimal Foetal Positioning article that recommends the use of a kneeler rocker (my baby is currently back to back at 37 + 3). Supposedly someone called Jill Sutton hires them out but I can't get through (the article may be out of date).

Has anyone ever hired one through this lady or a doula etc?

Thanks

I haven't used one of these but after 1st sprog being b2b (and nothing would shift him) I was desperate not to have the same with ds2. I just leant on a birthing ball lots. Probably a little cheaper too.

Also, you have probably tried this but cleaning the kitchen floor properly on hands and knees works a treat - mine sparkled

Thanks Wiznit. My first was b2b - this is my third so keen to avoid. I just find it hard to sit leaning on the birth ball for any length of time and then get lazy and end up on the sofa I have being doing a lot of jigsaws on the floor with DS too!

I used to sit on the ball and lean on the table (if that makes sense). Easier on the knees.

DS was B2B. I did a lot of swimming and leaning on a gym ball on my mw's advice, and managed to turn him too far - he was undiagnosed (until I was 8cm dilated) breech (footling at that)!

Wow Bike - what happened. Were you whisked off to surgery or did you deliver a footling breech?
