We must remember that in previous generations, mothers didn\u2019t even know what position their baby was in until the birth<\/p>\n<p>Most babies do actually turn into what is considered to be the \u2018optimal position for birthing\u2019 before their birthing day. However, sometimes the baby is born facing forward (posterior) or in a bottom-first or feet-first position (breech). This is often referred to as a \u2018variation of normal\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BHp28ebBRP8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nSome babies do not turn until close to birth, some\u00a0turn\u00a0during birth and some never turn and are born facing forward, feet or bottom first.<\/p>\n<p>The most important thing to remember is \u2018not to worry\u2019. There are many non-invasive ways that babies can be encouraged to turn around, and worrying is counter-productive. Besides this, there may be a good reason for your baby choosing to stay in a particular position.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the medical procedures associated with turning breech babies, like external cephalic version\u00a0(ECV) can involve risk to your baby, so it is important to be informed and aware of <em>all <\/em>of your options.<\/p>\n<p>Vaginal breech delivery is becoming more available as a choice to mothers &#8211; however, you really need to do your homework to find someone who will support you, as the numbers of those obstetricians and midwives choosing to attend vaginal breech birth are still low. The number of doctors and midwives who have practical training and skills in vaginal breech delivery has dropped significantly in recent decades \u2013 with the increase in caesarean delivery for breech.<\/p>\n<p>Your instincts are sure to guide you in making the right decision for yourself and your baby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hypnosis for Positioning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hypnobirthingaustralia.online\/offers\/uAwV5oNX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-102884 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Hypnobirthing-Australia-MP3-Covers-3-e1675733652451-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Hypnobirthing Australia MP3 - Breech Turn\" width=\"178\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Hypnobirthing-Australia-MP3-Covers-3-e1675733652451-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Hypnobirthing-Australia-MP3-Covers-3-e1675733652451-450x450.jpg 450w, https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Hypnobirthing-Australia-MP3-Covers-3-e1675733652451-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Hypnobirthing-Australia-MP3-Covers-3-e1675733652451-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/hypnobirthingaustralia.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Hypnobirthing-Australia-MP3-Covers-3-e1675733652451.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 178px) 100vw, 178px\" \/><\/a>Hypnosis is a very powerful tool that can used to encourage baby to turn to the optimum position for birth.<\/p>\n<p>You may like to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hypnobirthingaustralia.online\/offers\/uAwV5oNX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>download our Breech Turn track <\/strong><\/a>(which is suitable for both breech and posterior).

Often mothers hold their abdominal muscles tightly around the baby, and it isn\u2019t until they put their awareness to completely relaxing that area, that they realise they have been holding the baby in a particular position.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sit forward<\/strong> as much as possible and start getting into the <strong>Polar Bear Position<\/strong> for periods of time each day. The Polar Bear\u00a0is a position that promotes optimum positioning for breech babies and posterior babies.

This can also be used in conjunction with acupuncture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acupuncture<\/strong> &#8211; Acupuncture involves the use of\u00a0disposable needles.

If you have done everything in your power to encourage little one to move into the optimal position for birthing and they choose to remain in the breech or posterior\u00a0position &#8211; perhaps there is a good reason for this.<\/p>\n<p>So, if your baby is currently in this position; stay positive, keep talking to your baby, be proactive (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hypnobirthingaustralia.online\/offers\/uAwV5oNX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hypnosis<\/a>, positioning and other holistic methods) and then&#8230; allow, surrender, release. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Melissa x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not all babies march to the same beat!
