I feel a lot of pressure in the front of my belly near my pelvis do idk if she is engaged. Just a lot of pressure when i walk. I guess I gotta squat and stuff to get her down and engaged more. I have lost plug this morning and keep have BM but who knows. Pregancy is confusing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-in-a-bad-position#post-2891561 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 15:57:42 +0000 bhbee 2891561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @Pollywog: - I had labor stall (still at home) with #2 - I had been having regular contractions, got the hormone shakes, then it kind of stopped. I went to see my prenatal chiropractor the next day and asked them to line me up and he was born that night super fast! Of course that might have happened without the chiropractor too but can’t hurt if you see one. And, your body may have done some real labor work even if it stopped for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-in-a-bad-position#post-2891552 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 14:40:18 +0000 Kemma 2891552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Walking up stairs or hills, walking with one foot in the gutter and one foot up on the pavement / footpath, swimming or floating in the pool, lots crawling on all fours or cat / cow pose. Also check out spinningbabies.com because labour is a lot harder if Baby isn’t in a good position </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-in-a-bad-position#post-2891547 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 13:57:49 +0000 Pollywog 2891547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you see a chiropractor? They can help a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-in-a-bad-position#post-2891546 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 13:52:36 +0000 jennlin821 2891546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try bouncing or sitting on a yoga ball. DD was 7 days late, so I spent the last 3 days either walking or bounce sitting. (Be careful, I always did it close to our couch and usually had a table or chair in front of me to hold on to... balance is not a strong point this late in the game :)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-in-a-bad-position#post-2891534 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 11:39:45 +0000 KT326 2891534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Squats! Hold on to a chair or the counter and try to squat as low as you can with you feet hip width apart. I did this in late pregnancy when my babe would move around and he always moved to a better position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-in-a-bad-position#post-2891533 Thu, 18 Jul 2019 11:31:46 +0000 cyoung 2891533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any tips for helping baby get in a better position and engage? </p> <p>Backstory.....I'm pretty sure my labor stalled last night. They sent me home from L&amp;D when I went in. I was having consistent contractions close together and in a good pattern and painful to the point I could barely talk through them and I would shake...but unfortunately I would not progress with in the hour or so and I never dilated. They just said try to sleep and tomorrow try to walk a lot and see if they intensity or start back up if they stop. The nurse literally shrugged and honestly didn't have an answer when it came to why I wasn't dilating. They finally stopped about 2am last night. She was head down but now has moved to and her head is in my right hip. She does that a lot!!!! I think the reason I didn't progress and my labor stalled is because she is in a bad position (almost sideways) and will it not engage. I have an Induction day so honestly I'm okay with waiting but I don't want to have stalled labor on and off for the next 11 days. That sounds no fun. </p>
