What Is Breech Position and How Can Ayurveda Help in Turning the Baby? - #14936

Anonymously

I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant, and at my last ultrasound, I found out that my baby is in a breech position. The doctor told me that there’s still time for the baby to turn, but they also mentioned that if the baby doesn’t move, I might need a cesarean section. I’m really hoping to have a vaginal birth, so I’ve been researching ways to help encourage the baby to turn naturally. I’ve heard that there are certain exercises and positions that can help with breech babies, but I’m wondering if Ayurveda has any additional recommendations to encourage the baby to shift into the correct position. I’ve read that certain yoga poses, like the forward-leaning inversion, can help, but are there Ayurvedic techniques that can support the process and help with the baby’s positioning? Also, I’m concerned about the impact of breech presentation on my body, especially since I’ve been experiencing more back pain and pelvic pressure. Can Ayurvedic herbs or oils help reduce these symptoms and relax my body to create a more favorable environment for the baby to turn? Has anyone here had a breech baby and used Ayurvedic remedies or practices to help turn the baby? What worked for you, and how long did it take to see results?

Doctors’ responses

Breech babies can often turn naturally before delivery, and there are exercises and Ayurvedic techniques that may help: Exercises & Positions Forward-Leaning Inversion: Helps open the pelvis and encourages the baby to move. Pelvic Tilts: Lying on your back with hips elevated may create space for the baby to turn. Knee-Chest Position: Get on hands and knees, with your chest lowered and hips elevated, for 10–15 minutes daily. Ayurvedic Recommendations Warm Oil Massage: Use gentle, warm sesame or coconut oil to massage the lower abdomen and hips. This promotes relaxation and eases back pain. Herbal Steam: Gentle steam baths with herbs like lavender or chamomile can relax pelvic muscles. Ashwagandha & Shatavari: These herbs help maintain strength and balance the body during pregnancy (consult your doctor first). Breech Support Tips Meditation & Visualization: Visualizing the baby in the correct position while meditating may help. Sleep Position: Sleep on your left side with pillows supporting your belly and hips to encourage optimal positioning.
