Breech babies and natural turning methods |
|
|
My sister in law is due in a few weeks with a baby who is still breech. I never had this problem, but I've heard there are things you can do that will naturally turn the baby? Like some chiropractic stuff? Anyone know? |

Many babies are not in position until a few days or even hours before it's time. Nothing to worry about until then. Even if the baby's position changed now, it could still turn around again next week. Until the baby is in the birth canal, you never know what position it will end up being in. |

Yes, you can try laying on an inversion board; seeing a chiropractor or acupuncturist (or both). I know there is something about lighting a match by the big toe...
Anyway, I agree with Kathy. Most babies will turn by the time of the birth. I wouldn't try an external version personally, but that is an option. |

Yeah I heard that you can go to the chiropractor to fix it, it's not guaranteed to work but it definitely can. She should definitely try it, but ask her doctor about it first. |
