This would be similar to a zero station. At -3, it hasn't dropped.

Sitting with the feet up doesn't do much, The left lateral recumbent position(lying on the left side) increases blood flow to the kidneys and the uterus. We think this may be helpful.

Discuss this with your Doctor, she/he has a method of handling this and I probably have a totally diferent one.
