What Is the Breech Position, and How Can It Affect Delivery? - #15228
I recently heard about the breech position in pregnancy, where the baby is positioned feet or bottom-first instead of head-down. How common is this, and does it always mean a C-section is necessary? I read that babies in the breech position can sometimes be turned naturally before birth. Are there any exercises, yoga poses, or medical techniques that help encourage the baby to shift into the head-down position? Does Ayurveda have any natural methods to help with breech babies? I’ve heard that certain oils, herbal treatments, and body positioning techniques might help—are these effective? If anyone has had a baby in the breech position, how did your delivery go? Did you try any techniques to turn the baby, or was a C-section necessary?
