I'm 37 weeks and my baby will not keep in a position. For the past five days, his favorite position has been transverse. A few weeks ago, he preferred head down. Earlier this week he was breech. If I walk around a ton, he usually will go head down. When I sleep is when he does most of his position changing. I've been seeing a chiropractor all pregnancy. Even today the chiro said he isn't sure why the baby keeps moving. Last week, my MW said the baby felt small and that I have a lot of amniotic fluid. Ok, so I guess that means he has room to move. But it seems like he should be staying in a position by now. With my first pregnancy, I went to 42.5 weeks before my MW (different one) used all kinds of natural induction methods. DD was anterior and then at 38 weeks flipped posterior. I spent a lot of time on my hands and knees to get her back to anterior. And I ended up with a c/s because MW instructed me to push (I could not communicate well during labor) even though I felt no urge and my cervix swelled. After the third time going through transition with this instructed pushing, DD flipped posterior again and I went to the hospital for pain relief. The doctor there decided I needed a c/s I think because he just wanted to get home and didn't want to wait out my labor. After the fact, he said my pelvis was too small to ever deliver a baby. I think his c/s rate is about 40%, too.
Given what happened last time, I am so worried about position of the baby. I've been to spinning babies and have done lots of the techniques. I sit on a birth ball, when the baby is breech, do inversion positions, pelvic tilts, etc. I'm at the point where getting the baby to stay in position is just haunting me all the time.
I tried to talk to my MW last week about the position, but my daughter would not sit still and I missed most of everything said. But the gist was that if the baby stays transverse or breech, then I need to transfer to an OB. This means probably a c/s. I see my MW again in a few days.
Is there any hope? Have other mothers experienced babies moving around so much late in pregnancy?
