Moxa for Breech?

bmouse22

Has anyone attempted the moxa acupuncture technique for a breech baby?  If so, did you meet success?

I've been going to my acupuncturist weekly to turn my baby from posterior to anterior. She used moxibustion as well last time. It has a really high success rate for turning breech babies around, upwards of 80%. So far had only 2 sessions, am currently 37 weeks, and I think this baby is turning. Rather than having to turn a full 180 degrees, it's just 90 degrees to go now. Although, this morning I think I felt the baby kicking me towards my back now, so I think it might be in position! Gotta check at my next appt!
Good luck!

I tried it several times and it didn't work for me. I didn't start until 37 weeks though, which probably didn't help much.i also tried lots of the spinning babies techniques several times a day as well as 4 chiropractor visits where she did the Webster technique. No luck. The ob did try an ECV right before my c-section but lo was just too comfy where he was! Good Luck though, I hope it works for you!

Thanks for the responses.  We have been trying everything for 3 weeks.  She is stubborn in there and hasnt flipped.  We have scheduled c-section for Thursday.
