I watched tv in the evenings draped over an ottoman for a couple of weeks. It wasn't too bad. Your babe still has time, so don't freak out! There are so many reasons to try to stay calm, which is obviously easier said than done, but worth it. I love your site, by the way! Krista Tricia,

The next time I went in he had moved back into the correct position. A few different friends told me that in the last 4 or 5 weeks the baby ought to move back (their babies all had). No worries!

The pelvic tilts really DO work! You can either stuff piles of pillows under your bum while laying down or lay on an ironing board that is propped up on a chair or something, with your head down. It's rather awkward and uncomfortable and you need somebody to help you, but it really works. If they are breech and dropped, they need the help of gravity to get unstuck and turn around.
