Hi Sarah! I was 39 weeks and 5 days pregnant and my baby was OP. I watched all three videos in this series and did the "hip dip" on Thursday afternoon, (turned the baby,) went into labor Friday morning and my baby was born early Saturday morning. Thank so much for this information and the birth classes!
My dr told me at my apt today I was 4 cm and the baby was OP (saw on ultrasound). I had been having contractions 10 mins apart for about 10 hours. I did this and some of her other poses from the other video for 40 mins. Boom my water broke. When I go to the hospital (30 min drive) I was 9 cm. Shortly after my dr arrived and I began to push. He was in a great position. My dr was so impressed and so was I. He came out so fast and he was 9 lb 3 oz. Ty so much!!
I had an extremely sore lower back and was told my baby is back to back with mine which is what was causing the pain. I came across this video and within 4 days the pain was gone. Honestly was shocked as I’ve had this pain prior to being pregnant and I will continue to do this exercise even after baby! Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤ you don’t understand how much this has helped me, I would be in tears and couldn’t even put pants on properly.
This really works! At 36 weeks I had an ultrasound and baby was head down but facing my left side. At night I would wake up with severe back pain that my midwife said was likely back labor due to baby's head not being in an optimal position. I had another ultrasound planned for 37 weeks so I did this move every day and sat on a birth ball as often as I could and by my 37 week ultrasound he was in the perfect position! And I haven't had the back pain!
Jeeez. U just helped me sista 😳 It was one day before my due . Was scared about getting artificial induce.. came across your video. Tried dip the hip. The next day early morning mild contraction started after few hours went to hospital I was 2cm dilated.. Again tried in the mid and delivered my baby girl easily . It's jus magical. Thanks a lot. Those who are in doubt whether this gonna workout. Am damn sure u will feel thankful later. Once again a big thank to your video..
I'm 10 days from having my baby who is currently back to back. I have started doing these exercises. My husband plays Marvin Gaye 'lets get it on' through the speakers when he spots me doing the exercises 😂🙈
@@jenhavard6697 I'm glad to hear! I'm currently 10 days away from my due date and I'm trying to get this baby to turn. Did you mess up a lot when your were doing it?.lol I've been messing up on the figure 8 part for some reason and hope this still works!
@@beautifulhope861 I’m having trouble doing the 8 figure as well yet I can twerk 🤔🤣 I can just feel baby at the front of my belly after leaning forward but don’t think he has turned
Yes, I did this move with my third baby. My first was OP vaginal delivery and second had to have a cesarean after pushing for hours because baby was ROT. So I was determined to have a VBAC without hiccup. I believe this move helped me have the fastest and easiest delivery I've had. Should I be blessed to become pregnant again, I will be utilizing this again.
Hey Sarah! 31 weeks with baby number 5 and you’ve been a huge help with #3, #4, and now #5! I would love to hear about pregnancy and gallbladder problems.
Great video!!! My birth team and I uses the original video you linked to turn two of my posterior babies!!! A doula or partner may help with the maneuver by placing hands on the birthing mother's hips to make sure she is dipping low enough - because in labour it is NOT very comfortable to do!
This truly works, i am nearly on my 38 weeks, and the doctor told me baby was in posterior. I did this only one day and it turned since I started feeling the kicks below my ribs. Today I went back to the doctor n I got confirmation that baby is now anterior!! this exercise is enough to turn the baby. U r a genius!! many thanks
Hi Sarah! Thanks for making this video. Can I do this at 36 weeks or will it put me in labor early? I want to turn my posterior/sunny side up baby but I’m afraid to put myself in labor before I should…
I don’t know if you still read comments from this, but how do you know if it has worked and baby has turned? This is my second posterior baby and I have no clue how to tell if he has turned or not.
would doing any of the spinningbabies activities whether for op or posterior baby without knowing the position of your baby, mistakenly make him go breech or op instead? and similarly, if you did them and successfully turned them to optimal positioning-would continuing the activities bring them back to their original position?
Question unrelated to the video... I’ve heard that you shouldn’t take a bath once your water has broke... but I feel like I see this all the time during labor and obviously water births?
Can we do this just in case? Or only if we have been told baby is OP? Baby #2 baby was OP for me and vaginal delivery happened but was hard. Baby was also 10lbs, 12oz 😜They didn't tell me baby was OP until baby came out. Now I'm 31 weeks with baby #3
Important question. only 34 weeks now and I've been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions in my lower abdomen. I feel like she wants to drop bit is having trouble, will this exercise help? And if so is it okay with pregnancy with pgp and muscle knots that develop on the sciatica nerve?
My baby is ROT, mostly ROP, have been doing this and other things for the whole 3rd trimester and baby hasn't changed position. Hope it will turn anterior in labor
Hi Sarah! My first babe was OP. I heard that my next baby is likely to be too because my first was. Once you have back labor, you usually always have it. In your experience, is there any truth to that?
I can’t answer this positively because I am just a mom, not a medical professional, but I have had back labor with all 3 of my babies. I don’t know that they were all OP because I was never told except for my last one which was a home birth with a midwife. I do know that what Sarah said in her last video about not worrying because baby can still spin during labor is true. My midwife told me the same thing and all 3 have come out “correctly”. I had a vaginal birth with an epidural with my first. A surprise, 2.5 hour precipitous labor, unassisted home birth with my second. I had a 4 hour home birth with my third. I guess what I’m trying to say is just try not to stress about it. You can still have a perfect birth even if baby isn’t in the optimal position to begin with😊
Not a medical professional either, but I had back labor with #2 and haven’t had it with #1, #3, or #4, so at least anecdotally just because you had back labor with one doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to for every birth. Every woman is different, though!
I was 36 weeks and due to be induced at 37 weeks. Gynea told me baby was OP at 36 weeks. Watched all three videos (so helpful). I did hip-dips one day and baby turned. Gynea confirmed the next day that baby was facing the right direction. Thank you so much for the videos
Hi! So not in labor, but I’ve been having soooo much lower back pain at 35 weeks, and this technique has helped alleviate so much pressure and pain for me! Thanks so much for sharing 🥰
This worked for me!!! I’m 37+2 and my baby has moved from a posterior oblique lie to LOT in a week after doing a combination of dip the hip and forward leaning inversion!! Thank you for your help!
I wish I knew of this sooner, that I found this sooner... Didn't know my 2nd baby, now 6+ months, was OP until I was into labor. Attempted a home birth, and labored for 12+ hours. Was 41 weeks and two days, and baby #2 was already so low and was just impacted or wedged where he wasn't going to budge. Did what we could from all fours to birthing stool, swaying, pulling on a scarf rope... Ended up having to go to the hospital for a C-section... Had swelling happening from pushing for many hours and the back pain became to severe. I have a high pain tolerance, but, oy! I still struggle with, from time to time, "What if I did this or tried that... Would the outcome have been any different". Wasn't experiencing eclampsia, but the swelling wasn't going down down there after getting antihistamine... I felt defeated and crushed. But I wouldn't trade the attempt of a home birth experience for anything and I would do it again without hesitation. My Hubby and I agree that we want at least one more bundle of joy and will certainly keep this video on hand as I will be going for an unmedicated VBAC in the future, and perhaps a water birth at that.
Pop, pop, pop, pop that thang, Imma show you how to make your man say ohhhh … that’s how we get into this situation to begin with 😆 Keep those videos coming Sarah, we love em!
This truly works!! At 39 weeks and 5 days my baby was still posterior. On 39 +6 days I did some spinning babies then the next day I tried this move specifically a handful of times all day. That following night, right at midnight I went in active labor! I was at 9 cm within 6 hours and gave birth to my baby on exactly 40 weeks (his due date!). Thanks so much for making this for us moms with posterior facing babies!
Hey this gives me hope.. I'm currently 38 + 2 and bub is in posterior - do you have any other videos you'd recommend to help me change my baby around 🙏
Not 100% sure if baby is OP, but all the signs point to her being in that position. Just tried this move for the first time & it's already giving my back and hips so much relief!
Was told baby was op at 36 weeks but noone explained that there were exercises i could do to change this and baby not likely to rotate itself at this stage. Found this out at 38.5 weeks so will be trying this
I’m going to try this! Thank you for this video. My baby was breech a few weeks ago, did some exercises to get him head down again, and it worked, but he’s facing out, not in. So gotta work on that now!
20mins after doing this my waters broke. I'm 40+5 and yesterday was only 2cm dialated and not fully effaced. 4th pregnancy but 1st time baby is OP. Thank you for this video!!!!
I’m 40+2 with a big OP baby. Last baby was a successful OP VBAC at 8lb-8oz. I danced the whole time during labor and made a lot of these moves which helped her turn during delivery. So I’m going to try this today for a 2VBAC
Just had a growth scan at 37 weeks and saw in the notes afterwards that my baby is in oblique-vertex position. Does anyone know what that means?? I know vertex is head down...so how can she be head down and oblique?
Hi mamas. What if we don’t know the actual position of the baby? It’s still good to apply this exercises anyway or you risk to move on OP a baby in AP?
Love your channel! Came across it during my first pregnancy which totally helped to add levity and comic relief for a first time mom-to-be. Just found out at 36 weeks that baby 2 is OP so you better believe I'm going to be dipping!! Lol

@@winiatapikari2310 did it work?
I claim it- AMEN

How many time you do it ?
Hi Sarah! Thanks for making this video. Can I do this at 36 weeks or will it put me in labor early? I want to turn my posterior/sunny side up baby but I’m afraid to put myself in labor before I should…
Would this exercise "harm" the proper position of the baby?
Hi Sarah, how do you know when baby has turned?
Wondering the same
Following!
You’re amazing ! Thank you for teaching us !
Great Sarah, thanks again!!!! Awsome class!!!
The bloopers at the end killed me 😆👍💜
I did this a day after membrane sweep. I think it got my mucus plug to be set free. Good movement!
I don’t know if you still read comments from this, but how do you know if it has worked and baby has turned? This is my second posterior baby and I have no clue how to tell if he has turned or not.
Is there any risk to doing this if you don’t know baby is OP?
Exactly what I was wondering! 🤔
Me too! I am wondering if this is good to do even if you don’t know for sure!
Your midwive appointments check the position from 28 weeks? Hence why appointments are for 🙄
@@moneymagnet7345 Not always, and not everyone is able to go to a midwife. So it's a legitimate question.
I tried these exercises and went to labour.Had normal delivery.Thankyou so much.
P.s my baby was op
@Kanwal Faisal yes normal delivery
@Kanwal Faisal from which time did you start this exercise
please reply me
would doing any of the spinningbabies activities whether for op or posterior baby without knowing the position of your baby, mistakenly make him go breech or op instead? and similarly, if you did them and successfully turned them to optimal positioning-would continuing the activities bring them back to their original position?

Can you do this if you’re OA or the baby is btw OA and OP, mine is facing back and slightly to my right and 38 weeks today!
I'm guessing baby's born already? anterior with a slight twist to the right is OPTIMAL birthing position for baby!! hope all's well, mama.
Would this work on occiput right transverse?
Oh my lanta the outtakes were enough to make me laugh myself right into labor (this is a joke but I get a contraction)
From which weeks i can do this?
Important question.
only 34 weeks now and I've been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions in my lower abdomen. I feel like she wants to drop bit is having trouble, will this exercise help? And if so is it okay with pregnancy with pgp and muscle knots that develop on the sciatica nerve?
Can I do this exercise I am 22weeks pregnant and I am posterior 1 grade placenta please answer me
I’m 37 weeks
Baby position is LOP left occipital posterior cephalic presentation .
When should I try this exercise..?
Very good
Can be done for transverse baby at 36weeks
Work it girl! 💃
Oh my gosh I can't figure this out at all 😂 I'm definitely not doing it right.
My baby is in posterior position..I am weeks and 4 days pregnant..can I do this now!?..or only I have to do during labour?..pls reply
Hi , my baby is in posterior position , and I'm 27weeks and 2 days pregnant , can I do this now ? Or during labor ?
Are there any preventive moves to do before baby is born to ensure that they are in the right position?
Watch part 1 & 2!
Hi, I am in my 35th week bay is in OP can I Do it from now for changing to OA? Thank you
I subscribed just cause of those bloopers 🤣
My baby is ROT, mostly ROP, have been doing this and other things for the whole 3rd trimester and baby hasn't changed position. Hope it will turn anterior in labor
Can I do this movement to turn my baby from ROT to LOT??
This is what I wonder as my baby is in ROT position🤔
did this help my baby is on rot
This exercise do work for ROT position say yes or no reply please

You make me smile. Thanks for the tips.
I'm currently 34 weeks can I do this ? Or is it only to be done during Labor.
How would I know baby is posterior without an ultrasound?
Feeling where the movement is. OP has most kicks in front
My midwife felt for position. Felt the shoulders and spine.
Just had a growth scan at 37 weeks and saw in the notes afterwards that my baby is in oblique-vertex position. Does anyone know what that means?? I know vertex is head down...so how can she be head down and oblique?
I believe Oblique means its facing either one of your hips. Side to side rather than front to back or back to front if that makes sense
I think it means diagonal across your belly, head down
Can this exercise work for the position of that baby?
Hi mamas. What if we don’t know the actual position of the baby? It’s still good to apply this exercises anyway or you risk to move on OP a baby in AP?

Can i do it in 18 weeks
What if your baby is ROA, would this be effective? Thanks

The music in the video makes me want to go dancing! XD
what does it feel like when baby turn. my baby is in the rot position

Of course!
So, I did these moves to turn baby to OA and at 39+1 she flipped breech! I'm devastated! Help me!!
What happened thereon
how did everything turn out
