Being pregnant, for most women, is a truly wonderful, amazing and exciting time. For most women, their pregnancy will progress easily, going through the three stages. As we near the end of our pregnancy, we start to allow ourselves to feel very excited, although there will be bouts of anxiety. This is only natural because we all want a healthy baby at the end of the pregnancy.
Yet, there can still be complications, even at the very end, and it doesn't matter whether your pregnancy has been problem free or not. One of these problems which can cause a lot of anxiety and worry is if your baby ends up in the breach position.
A baby in breach position, can be very dangerous for the mother, if the baby was to be born this way and usually when the baby cannot be turned, the mother will have to undergo a Cesarean operation something which most women do not want. Most women like to give birth naturally. Breach babies need to be turned before you give birth naturally and with some babies they manage to turn themselves before they are born. Others can be helped along by a midwife who can help manipulate the position of the breach baby.
Acupuncture is one of the natural treatments that are used to help turn the baby from the breach position. It is with the use of moxibustion over a point on the little toe. This method of treatment is more effective if used before week 36 of the pregnancy because the baby has more room to move up until that point. The acupuncturist will administer the first of the treatments and then they will show the patient how it is done so that they can administer the treatment themselves each day.
