Moxa Therapy for breech presentation
Is your baby in breech or transverse position between 33 and 36 weeks?
By using Moxa therapy and Spinning Babies techniques, we can try to get your baby to turn in a gentle way. This treatment is possible both in practice and at home.
What do we do?
Belinda is a midwife and therefore always checks the position of your baby first and listens to the heartbeat. In the event of a breech or transverse position, we start the treatment.
Moxa is a stick filled with a dried herb. It is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to warm meridian points. In this therapy we heat a point on the feet while we apply the Spinning Babies techniques. With this we try to get your baby to turn in the gentlest way possible. After the treatment you will receive Moxa sticks to take home and there will be explained how you can continue the treatment at home.
A study was published in the JAMA Journal of American Medical Association. In this study, 130 pregnant women with a breech baby's at 33 weeks received moxa therapy for 7-14 days. The conclusion of the study was that the chance that the baby will turn spontaneously during the 33-36th week increases from 50% to 75%.
If the baby is head down, there is the option of a pregnancy massage.
