Breech Turning

Babies usually turn around between 32 and 38 weeks of pregnancy. Hypnosis is a very powerful tool for turning breech babies and often babies remain turned. It is a very gentle and comfortable way both for mother and baby.

Using the techniques suggested by Marie Mongan we have many great results at getting your baby into the correct position.

For HypnoBirthing® mums, often one session will suffice to turn a baby, however sometimes additional sessions are necessary.

Baby doesn’t always turn straight away, it may happen during the night after a session.

A researcher at the University of Vermont, Burlington, USA, used hypnosis with 100 pregnant women whose babies were in the breech position between the 37th and 40th week of gestation. The women received hypnosis with suggestions for general relaxation and release of fear and anxiety. While under hypnosis, the women were also asked why their baby was in the breech position. 81% of the babies in the hypnosis group moved to the vertex position, compared with 48% of the control group. Hypnosis was most effective for the women motivated to use the technique. Aside from the visualization involved, the deep relaxation of hypnosis can help your abdomen to relax enough to allow the baby to turn if it wants to.
