My first baby was in the birth canal at 6 months. My second child was head up, at 38 weeks they turned her "manually"--knees up in the table, and pushing into my uterus. I had hand print bruises on my belly. She turned back to breech. The last day before induction at 42 weeks, she turned again on her own. Boy did that hurt.
My last child was head down but "stuck in my hip bone" he turned to upside down the day before induction at 42 weeks. He was induced 2 different times, at term then 2 weeks later. It hurt me really bad when they waited to full term to turn around. It is the most painful, and uncomfortable thing ever!!!!
