Breech and Posterior Babies

“

The New Zealand Evidence Based practice

guidelines for care of women with Breech presentation (4) recommends that moxibustion may be offered to women from 33 weeks gestation. This follows research from Italy (5) that demonstrated moxibustion can have a significant effect in helping to turn breech babies. Ideally treatment is at 34 –35 weeks, but can still be useful when used later in the pregnancy. Techniques can also help babies that are not in the optimal position prior to birth, such as those in a posterior position
