I've been doing this for a few weeks now with the ironing board propped up on the couch. I guess we'll see if it works in the next week or so! @Kellie – Thanks, Kellie!

Mom lays on something like an ironing board (or several large pillows) with one end on the floor and the other end propped up on a couch, with her head on the floor side o Done three times a day for 10-15 minutes at a time o Best done on an empty stomach and when baby is active Here’s an old technique.

I will try it tomorrow. Thanks! <a href='#comment-2866' rel="nofollow">@Rebecca (Ramblings by Reba)</a> - Yeah.. :-/ I guess they want to avoid me actually going into labor with a breech baby, only to have an emergency c-section. I just found out last night at my birthing class that here in Texas, midwives just aren't trained to attend breech births. Which is why the recommended 39 week c-section if he's still breech by then. And I guess there are only 3 doctors in Austin who I <em>may</em> have a slight chance of getting them to deliver a breech baby vaginally, but they normally just don't do them. So, I'm left with little choice if he doesn't flip by 39 weeks. Still, I am going to follow my instincts and just keep doing what I'm doing to persuade him to turn. @ Carlota – I know exactly what pose you’re talking about and I know how to do it.
