Hi Sarah! I was 39 weeks and 5 days pregnant and my baby was OP. I watched all three videos in this series and did the "hip dip" on Thursday afternoon, (turned the baby,) went into labor Friday morning and my baby was born early Saturday morning. Thank so much for this information and the birth classes!

My dr told me at my apt today I was 4 cm and the baby was OP (saw on ultrasound). I had been having contractions 10 mins apart for about 10 hours. I did this and some of her other poses from the other video for 40 mins. Boom my water broke. When I go to the hospital (30 min drive) I was 9 cm. Shortly after my dr arrived and I began to push. He was in a great position. My dr was so impressed and so was I. He came out so fast and he was 9 lb 3 oz. Ty so much!!

I had an extremely sore lower back and was told my baby is back to back with mine which is what was causing the pain. I came across this video and within 4 days the pain was gone. Honestly was shocked as I’ve had this pain prior to being pregnant and I will continue to do this exercise even after baby! Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤ you don’t understand how much this has helped me, I would be in tears and couldn’t even put pants on properly.

@jessehoff6570 Жыл бұрын

This really works! At 36 weeks I had an ultrasound and baby was head down but facing my left side. At night I would wake up with severe back pain that my midwife said was likely back labor due to baby's head not being in an optimal position. I had another ultrasound planned for 37 weeks so I did this move every day and sat on a birth ball as often as I could and by my 37 week ultrasound he was in the perfect position! And I haven't had the back pain!

This truly works, i am nearly on my 38 weeks, and the doctor told me baby was in posterior. I did this only one day and it turned since I started feeling the kicks below my ribs. Today I went back to the doctor n I got confirmation that baby is now anterior!! this exercise is enough to turn the baby. U r a genius!! many thanks

I wish I knew of this sooner, that I found this sooner... Didn't know my 2nd baby, now 6+ months, was OP until I was into labor. Attempted a home birth, and labored for 12+ hours. Was 41 weeks and two days, and baby #2 was already so low and was just impacted or wedged where he wasn't going to budge. Did what we could from all fours to birthing stool, swaying, pulling on a scarf rope... Ended up having to go to the hospital for a C-section... Had swelling happening from pushing for many hours and the back pain became to severe. I have a high pain tolerance, but, oy! I still struggle with, from time to time, "What if I did this or tried that... Would the outcome have been any different". Wasn't experiencing eclampsia, but the swelling wasn't going down down there after getting antihistamine... I felt defeated and crushed. But I wouldn't trade the attempt of a home birth experience for anything and I would do it again without hesitation. My Hubby and I agree that we want at least one more bundle of joy and will certainly keep this video on hand as I will be going for an unmedicated VBAC in the future, and perhaps a water birth at that.

Great video!!! My birth team and I uses the original video you linked to turn two of my posterior babies!!! A doula or partner may help with the maneuver by placing hands on the birthing mother's hips to make sure she is dipping low enough - because in labour it is NOT very comfortable to do!

@AmberCarter27 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, I did this move with my third baby. My first was OP vaginal delivery and second had to have a cesarean after pushing for hours because baby was ROT. So I was determined to have a VBAC without hiccup. I believe this move helped me have the fastest and easiest delivery I've had. Should I be blessed to become pregnant again, I will be utilizing this again.

Thanks so much for making this for us moms with posterior facing babies!

Hi Sarah! My first babe was OP. I heard that my next baby is likely to be too because my first was. Once you have back labor, you usually always have it. In your experience, is there any truth to that?

@hollyhawkins4824 3 жыл бұрын

I can’t answer this positively because I am just a mom, not a medical professional, but I have had back labor with all 3 of my babies. I don’t know that they were all OP because I was never told except for my last one which was a home birth with a midwife. I do know that what Sarah said in her last video about not worrying because baby can still spin during labor is true. My midwife told me the same thing and all 3 have come out “correctly”. I had a vaginal birth with an epidural with my first. A surprise, 2.5 hour precipitous labor, unassisted home birth with my second. I had a 4 hour home birth with my third. I guess what I’m trying to say is just try not to stress about it. You can still have a perfect birth even if baby isn’t in the optimal position to begin with😊

@Kittykat5kits 3 жыл бұрын

Not a medical professional either, but I had back labor with #2 and haven’t had it with #1, #3, or #4, so at least anecdotally just because you had back labor with one doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to for every birth. Every woman is different, though!

@Kriistall7 Жыл бұрын

Anecdotal but out of my 4 babies (all went into labor naturally and born med free) only 1 was OP and I only had back labor with her
