Is My Baby Breech

First off, do not stress. Usually fewer than 5% of babies remain breech at delivery time.

Healthcare providers may get concerned around weeks 35-36 and request an ultrasound to confirm position.

If you are prior to week 32, promote baby turning by:

• Walking 7,000-10,000 steps daily
• Calf stretches after walks
• Front lunge stretches
• Psoas release
• Modified cat-cow exercises

If at weeks 35-36 and still breech, try:

• Spinning Babies exercises
• Acupuncture and moxa with a naturopath or TCM practitioner
• Chiropractic or osteopathic care
• Pelvic floor physiotherapy

Give it until week 39-40 before planning a c-section. If you go into labour before your planned date, go to the hospital and see if an ECV can be done.

Remember there is no wrong way to have your baby.
