I am 33 week pregnant and baby is in breech position. Anyone tried acupuncture or any other means to 'turn' the baby ?

I have heard of cases where acupuncture did help in turning their babies. According to this article (http://www.madeformums.com/pregnancy/using-acupuncture-to-turn-your-breech-baby/20128.html), the best time for the treatment is between 34 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. The later you leave it, the smaller the chance of success. You can also try the following methods at home to help encourage your baby to turn: - Place cushion on the floor, lie with your hips elevated about 45cm above your head for a duration of 15 mins. Do this three times a day (better if you could do it when your baby is active) - Rock back and forth gently on your hands and knees with your buttocks higher than your head level - Stand with your back to the wall and relax your spine. Inhale deeply and press the small of your back against the wall as you do so. Exhale and repeat for five minutes. Do this several times a day. - play music or have your husband speak to the bottom of your belly - try visualizing your baby in the head-down position As with all suggestions, there is no guaranteed success. But I think these are worth a try.

https://spinningbabies.com/learn-more/baby-positions/breech/flip-a-breech/ I tried the foward leaning inversion 3 times a day for 10 minutes each day, also did the side lying release as well, I also did some yoga ball excercises, twisting clockwise and anti clockwise sitting on the ball creates more space for baby to move I was breech at my 32 week scan and when I went back at 36 weeks my baby was head down and very low I believe she is engaged as well it's worth trying it worked for me I believe

Try letting your baby listen to Music at the bottom of ur belly. Or put some light . because they reaponds to light also. Mine was breech at 28weeks and it went head down on 31 weeks after trying this.

I'm overweight. But I walked alot I keep myself busy and active How tired I walk and bsby turn head down at 32 weeks and yes of coz God help also. All the best mummy ❤

Doctors say they turn and head face down between 36 and 38 weeks so dont worry yet

Same here.. 33 weeks ans baby still in breech position. But i think, i will let nature take its cause.

Acupuncture or moxibustion can help turn the baby with the correct timeline.
