Posted • I am going to offer my opinion on breech babies in 3rd trimester.

I always ask my clients when taking their 34 week health history; what is the current fetal presentation. Breech, transverse or head down (vertex). They still have time to turn head down on their own with no intervention.

If breech, I offer them my expert opinion. That opinion is as follows.

Sometimes babies choose breech. Maybe they have a short cord and that position honors that. Maybe that is how they are most comfortable. We do not want to force baby out of the breach position without monitoring the health of the fetus, meaning, assessment of the fetal heart rate.

The Internet has a variety of exercises recommended on how to turn your own breech baby.

I do not recommend the following.

Full inversions. This position was originally not designed to turn a breech to head down. It is potentially not safe physically for the pregnant person to get in and has the potential to bring the fetus far out of the lower uterine segment.

Miles circuit. I do not recommend being in a “puppy pose” for 30 minutes. I recently had a client tell me, “I am trying to increase my capacity to stay in the pose.” Her body was saying “no” to that pose, we need to honor that. Again, intracranial pressure will increase after just a few minutes, potentially affecting blood pressure and its co-morbidities.

What I recommend is the following.
Make room while upright or slightly prone position, so the fetus chooses to go head down.

Extended mountain poses.
Sheet over the door, hold on to tied knot and let body stretch.
Child’s pose, 5 minutes.
Down dog, 1 minute.
Swimming, breast stroke.
Focused breathing and relaxation of the pelvic floor and respiratory diaphragm.

Listen to my Podcast in my highlights with the Prenatal Yoga Center about inversions.

And most of all, listen to your baby and your body. ❤️

If you do require an external cephalic version, reach out to me for a consultation.

Motherhood - the best and hardest job on the planet.

I heard someone say on the radio this weekend - being a mom is a whole lot of loving and a whole lot of letting go.

My kids are getting older - they aren't these tiny squishes anymore. Being their mom has brought me the most joy, anxiety, beauty and grief into my life. It all jumbles together to make a gloriously messy and wonderful life.

Grateful to be a mom today. To all 4 of my babies.

Happy Mother's Day to all the !
