The undesirable posterior positioning of a baby in the womb after even the 36th week can cause worry.
This breech needs to be rectified, but there is no medical method or process by which a breeched baby can be turned anterior with head down.
As this could cause severe complication at the time of delivery both for the mother as well as the child there have been several studies and explorations done to find out possible tips for turning a breech baby.
Some Tips for Turning a Breech Baby: oApplication of the age-old Chinese practice of Acupuncture is one method of attempting turning of a breech baby.
This is a safe method but there is no guarantee that the breech will be resolved.
This therapy is first done by a professional Acupuncturist and later needs to be carried out every day by the lady or any one who can assist in this.
oECV or the 'external manual version' is another method but slightly complicated.
It requires very professional hands and the patient is monitored closely for any possible complication of serious magnitude that may arise during the process.
oAnother tip, safe and non-invasive is Webster Breech chiropractic technique devised by one Dr.
Larry Webster.
This is based on the theory that a breech baby wants to get into an anterior head down position.
In case it doesn't a slight help can make that happen.
This help is in the form of a gentle pressure technique along the spine of the pregnant woman.
oBased on a similar belief is the technique whereby the woman positions herself on a slant-board or laying on the floor lifts buttocks supported by fat pillows.
Ensure that the buttocks are up, the head is down and legs are bent upwards.
Now put on a music player and place the headphones on the pubic bone and place a chilled bag of peas on their upper belly.
This, it is believed incites the baby to jump into the desired head-down position and turn the breech baby right.
