Could baby have moved to anterior position?

Question

I am 35 weeks and found out my baby is in posterior position (likely because I sit at a computer all day for work). Last night I started doing visualizations and movements to get the baby to move to the anterior position (being on all fours and rocking my pelvis back and forth) and I had a bad sleep because I was feeling pains all night in my ribs. My baby was laying horitzontal for the longest time and from doing visualizations the baby moved into the head down position. Could last night's uncomfort have been the baby turning already?

Answer 1

I had massive problems with getting my 3 month old son to sleep.  He would just lie awake and cry for hours, then when he finally went to sleep he would wake every hour or two hours through the night and cry again!  Talk about pulling our hair out .... we were absolutely desperate for sleep!

It was a baby sleep audio program recommended by a friend that finally saved us. We followed the advice and began by creating a baby sleep routine which included bathtime, dimming of the lights, putting Paul into his crib, final nappy change and then lullabies. We also made recommended changes to his naps during the day and used some of the other recommended techniques. Within two weeks he was sleeping through the night most nights with just the odd night where he would just wake once!

Definitely start by creating a good baby sleep routine though and you could find that solves most of your baby sleep problems.

Good luck!

It could well have been. Positions like the ones you did can encourage the baby to turn to the anterior position. However, I wouldn't have thought it would be that quick! Maybe it was just a coincidence and your baby was going to turn anyway and the positions just help! Good luck with everything!
