Tricks to Bounce Back and More

She's helped deliver my last couple of babies.

And she looked at my belly and was like, your belly looks different.

I was like, yeah, my ribs really hurt.

Like my hips feel better because I've been having a lot of sacroiliac joint pain.

My hips feel better, but my ribs really hurt.

And she felt the baby and she was like, I think your baby's breech.

So at some time in the last couple of days, the baby decided to turn upside down, which is when, it's not exactly upside down.

They should be upside down to come out, but he did a somersault and flipped.

And so his head was in my ribs and my ribs felt like they were splitting apart.

It was very unpleasant.

And so obviously I plan on having a home birth.

I've had three home births already, but I haven't had a breech home birth and that freaks me out.

And I know you can have breech home births.

Lots of people do it.

It's much more rare than having a regular birth, but I don't know if I'm comfortable with that.

But I didn't freak out.

We went to the doctor.

And this OB has so much experience.

Apparently, he's delivered triplets vaginally seven times.

And he gave me a medication to relax the uterus.

And it took about 15 seconds.

It was so easy.

And I was kind of nervous going into it because I've heard it can be really hard on women to have someone flip your baby.

It's called an ECV.

They hook you up to a bunch of monitors.
