The position of the breech baby is the baby in a vertical position with the head at the top of the uterus or back to the birth canal, nearing delivery. Under normal conditions, the baby's head should be in the lower uterus facing the birth canal.
While in the womb, the baby continues to move and spin. Over time, the size of the baby will grow larger so that the baby is difficult to change positions after the gestational age enters the 37th week. The position of a breech baby can be known through a pregnancy examination or by an ultrasound examination by an obstetrician at the hospital.
Returns the Baby in the Normal Position
If your baby is in a breech position, you can "persuade" your baby to return to normal position in a number of natural ways as below.Lift the pelvis
You can start changing the position of the breech baby in the womb by lifting your pelvis as high as 30 cm from the floor. To do this technique, you must be in a supine position with your knees bent and your feet flat. This mild exercise can be done for 10-15 minutes, three times each day. You are advised to use a pillow to prop your pelvis so that it does not feel painful. Routine exercise during pregnancy, such as walking, may also help improve breech baby's position.
Using sound
Basically, babies begin to hear sounds from outside the mother's abdomen when the gestational age enters the 15th week. You can use your music or voice to persuade your baby to move to the position he should be. To do this, you can attach the headphones directly to the bottom of your stomach.
Hypnosis therapy
Hypnosis therapy is done to make you relaxed, calm, and focused by giving suggestions to your subconscious. Based on research, the position of the baby can be changed if pregnant women often do this therapy when gestational age enters the 37th to 40th weeks. You can consult a doctor to get a recommendation from a competent hypnotherapist.
Acupuncture therapy
Acupuncture therapy combined with burning leaves or herbs, or known as moxibustion therapy, coupled with other methods such as the External Cephalic Version (ECV), is thought to help change the position of breech babies. The therapist will prick the acupuncture needle into the tip of the little finger. This method is believed to stimulate the movement of the baby in the womb so that he can return to his position. However, you should consult with an obstetrician before doing this alternative method.
