2009 Pregnancy/baby thread

Baby is still breach. The doctor told me to use an ice pack on where her head is more or less to make her uncomfortable and encourage her to move... Never heard of that before.

My friend said that her friend was addicted to iced drinks when she was pregnant, and any time she drank them her baby would kick like crazy. They figured it was because her stomach was so close to the baby and it was cold for her.

How funny, I never thought of that! Umm, Carmen, what if Sprout LIKES the cold? Then she'll never move!

I had a friend give birth last November. Her baby was breach. She'd gone to the acupuncturist one morning for a treatment. She had heard that sometimes those help move the baby. That afternoon she had a doctor's appointment. Her amniotic fluid was low, so they did a C-section that night. There wasn't enough fluid for the doctor to try to turn the baby. I think she was just over 35 weeks at the time. Neither mom nor baby had any complications. Although, it was so funny to see her baby girl next to all the other babies. The rest of them were all nice and straight and then there was her baby with the legs twisted all around. I'll have to find a picture to post. (She is fine now, although she did have some chiropractic visits for awhile.)

This was her normal position for several days. That's how she had been in the womb.
