Ideas to make a placenta move? - Page 2

There is still time.

Acupuncture definitely can't hurt.

If I were in your position, I would spend at least 30 minutes per day (an hour if you can find the time), every day, in quiet meditation visualizing your placenta moving up and out of the way of your inner cervical os. Try to do this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, preferably right before or during dawn, before anyone else is up.

You have to have faith that the mind is very powerful. Your thoughts and visions are very powerful. If this sounds like complete bunk to you, don't do it. But if even a small part of you would like to try it, then listen to that small part and do it.

Prepare your mind and body for a cesarean, and make peace with that potential outcome. And then do everything you can (acupuncture, chiropractic work, visualization) to gently guide that placenta away from your cervix.

I am thinking of you, mama.

Thank you, wombjuice. I *have* been talking to both the placenta and the baby (even though it makes me feel a little silly) about "unblocking the door" so that the baby can get out. And whenever I do moxibustion (2xday), I do visualization. I should make more time than that, but it's hard with the preschooler running at me from many directions all day!

I've also been - at a joking suggestion from my mw - eating more dairy and more calories in general to get the baby (and uterus) growing more and giving space for the placenta to shift.

Even though I am taking a two pronged approach, not assuming either that it will or won't move, I'm trying to put most of my energy into the shifting rather than planning the c-section.

Awesome, sounds like you are on the right track. Best wishes!
