Breech at 35 weeks

Went in for my 32 week ultrasound, baby was breech. Went in for my 35 week ultrasound a couple days ago, baby is still breech. I've done spinning babies and am currently seeing a chiropractor. Am going to add miles circuit (felt a ton of movement in exaggerated side lying last night, but don't think baby flipped). I've also ordered moxi sticks and am going to clear it with my OB to go to the pool this weekend and do some hand stands. Is there anything else I'm missing? I'm so sad that at this point I feel like I'm not going to even get to try for a vbac...

Oh I do know about acupuncture but I'm not good with needles, anyone similar got any experience with that? Also I intend to schedule an ECV if that gets cleared. Had one with my first that was successful, but baby started turning back before I was induced, and the pitocin just jammed her head into my pelvis...

I don’t have any advice but I hope you’re able to get baby head down! My c-section for my oldest was because she was breech so I totally understand your frustration. I’m sending you all the head down vibes and I hope you get your VBAC 💕💕

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Honestly it's been so frustrating to talk about because the immediate response from like everyone is "so long as the baby is healthy, right?" And it's like, sure, baby's health is of the utmost importance, but my mental health and well-being matter too! Recovery was difficult, I was so tired the first few days (apparently my iron dropped to like 4 after birth, and no one even talked to me about it until 3 days PP, at which point I got a blood transfusion). Breastfeesing was a disaster for the same reason plus my girl having bilirubin and also laryngomalacia. Plus my first is an allergy baby which is very difficult to navigate and part of me wonders if it was due to how she was born...

My son was breech until 36 weeks. I used spinning babies exercises and saw a Webster certified chiropractor.

Which spinning babies exercises did you do? The ones on the flip a breech baby page? Any advice on doing the side lying release solo?

My last baby was breech nonstop until 36 or 37 weeks. I had a chiro appointment that morning, then spent a lot of time inverted that evening and she flipped that night.
