Accupuncture for breech

Angel21 · May 21st, 2009, 10:34 AM

Hi ladies,

I've just noticed I'm on the last box of my ticker!

I have booked myself in for accupuncture (sp?...sorry) to try to encourage bubs to turn around and get his head out of my ribs. she couldn't fit me in till 9th June, I'll be 38+3 by then, do you ladies think this is too late for an attempt? If I opt for a version I may well have had it by then too...?

Thanks

I've heard that moxabustion is really successful at turning breech babies. Don't know why as all it involves is burning some herbs next to your little toe!

I found a video showing how to do it on Youtube and you can buy the moxa-sticks on ebay. It can't so any harm so as long as you only do the recommended time each day (10 mins on each foot I think) it might help.

some sites do say not to do it yourself so if you're unsure maybe someone qualified could fit you in sooner than the acupuncturist?

SianMA thank you for that, really interesting. Every morning I get up haave a feel and hope he's moved and every morning there is a head in my ribs. I'm trying to come to terms with having a section, but it's taking time, and I'm scared....
