It is considered a normal situation before childbirth if the child is in a cephalic presentation - that is, lies upside down, directed into the mother's pelvis. But a certain percentage of children are in breech presentation, that is, they will be born feet first. This situation can be corrected so that the birth takes place at a lower risk of injury.
Instructions
Step 1
Wait until the twenty-eighth week of pregnancy. Until this time, the child can turn freely enough in the uterus and can repeatedly change its position.
Step 2
Talk to your gynecologist before taking any measures. He will be able to tell you if breech presentation is dangerous in your case and if any methods are acceptable for you to change the position of the baby in the uterus.
Step 3
Do special exercises to get your child to change their position. One of them is turning. Lying on the bed, turn from one side to the other several times. Repeat the exercise three to four times a day. It is convenient to make these turns in bed in the morning or before going to bed. You also need to lie down several times a day so that your lower body is above your head. This position should be held for five to seven minutes.
Step 4
See an acupuncture specialist. According to the traditional Chinese medicine proponents, the needles can be used to force the baby to turn over into the desired position by using needles on certain points of your body. This technique has proven itself in the treatment of a number of diseases, but many doctors deny its effect on changing the position of the child.
Step 5
Go swimming. Up to 36 weeks, in the absence of special restrictions from the doctor, this should not be a problem. Diving and swimming on the back and on the stomach at a calm pace can also help the child change position.
Step 6
If the child, according to the ultrasound scan, remains in the same position, at the ninth month, contact your gynecologist for an external turn. Not all doctors practice this procedure because of the danger of causing too early childbirth or pinching any nerve in a pregnant woman. Therefore, before making a turn, you need to weigh all the pros and cons of this event. If you have given birth before, you have a fairly wide pelvis, and the baby itself is not too large, then you have a great chance of giving birth naturally and with pelvic subject.
Step 7
Try to communicate mentally or aloud with the child, thereby convincing him to change position. This technique is used by expectant mothers, although it has not been confirmed by official medicine.
