Lots of crawling on your hands and knees, walking with one foot in the gutter, deep squats (before and during labour), inversions from spinningbabies.com.

Fingers crossed baby gets itself turned around for you!

Sounds like left side posterior is "better." And being a second time mom with a successful vaginal delivery with your first all work in your favor.

All three of mine have been on one side or the other and I swear at least my second was posterior. He was the only one I went med-free. My third kept moving sides even through the last week and didn't get into position until labor started. Fingers crossed that she cooperates for you!

@avivoca: Try not to worry too much! I was so nervous with my second because at one point in the last week I could feel him kicking straight out into my belly. That is so disappointing the student is making you more nervous about delivery. Not cool!

@avivoca: You don't have to walk with one foot in the gutter. If you walk along the street with one foot up on the curb it achieves the same thing.

You could also try asymmetric lunges with one leg up on a couch or chair.

My dd was posterior. I did lots of lunges with one leg up on a higher step. That will probably accomplish the same as curbs. I had wicked back labor but she turned at the last minute and I pushed her out med free.

My first was posterior and delivered relatively easily vaginally (as easy as a really long first labor can be...but the pushing wasn't too bad!). So you may still be good even if bebe doesn't turn!

I did all the poses and kept proper posture my whole second pregnancy and ended up with another posterior baby and tough labor. My doc and my friend who is a midwife both agree there is little evidence to support all those moves on spinning babies. I put a lot of pressure on myself to get my second baby in the right position and it didn't work. I'm tired of beating myself up and comparing to others for stuff that is likely just luck. But it doesn't hurt to try!!! Good luck! Also, they can still turn a lot. And as others have mentioned posterior doesn't always mean long or difficult.

I didn't mean to be discouraging- I just have the experience of feeling like I failed when I did everything "right" and it didn't work... I don't want you to put the same pressure on yourself! My second spun around constantly, sometimes anterior sometimes posterior- even in the days before labor. I hope it goes well for you!

Oh, and I did all of these things with both babies. K was delivered sunny-side up, and Max turned during labour. So maybe they don't necessarily work. Best of luck though!!

@avivoca: I totally get it. After the way my first went down I was so anxious about the second. It all worked out in the end, but I've come to peace with the idea that this is just how my body carries babies and I'm going to recline in bed while reading as much as I want next time.
