I've heard good things about going to a chiropractor that practices the Webster Technique for turning baby. Also, spend lots of time on your hands and knees, this position makes it easier for baby to move around. At 27 wks though, baby should still be very active and could switch positions quite a bit before settling into a birth position.

 

[Mom&BabyChiro]

Mama w/two is right. The Webster Technique works with the bones, ligaments and muscles of the pelvis to restore a state of balance and ease in the system. The gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments help to release any tension and torsion in the pelvis and the rest of the body. With the pelvic bones and ligaments in balance, it allows for the most possible space within the uterus and pelvic cavity, and your baby is encouraged to get into (or stay) in his or her optimal birth position.

The success rate of this non-invasive technique, which often results in a breech baby turning, is very high. You can find a Doctor of Chiropractic in your area who is certified in the technique at: http://www.icpa4kids.org/locator/index.php

Hope this helps!

Have you tried the www.spinningbabies.com site?

I'll third the Webster recommendations. I had a wonderful chiro my first pregnancy who specialized in that technique.

My midwife doesn't even worry about the baby being head down until 35 weeks. You still have lots of time.
