Moxibustion?

irish4jan1

Has anyone tried this with success? I am going in for my 2nd and final version try on Tuesday and have been doing breech tilt and other recs from spinningbabies.com. Just wondering if it has worked for anyone, how many times you went, and what the success rate is?

 Thanks!

My MW just suggested this for me too. I haven't had it done yet. From what I gather on NB board it is not conclusive. Those that have had it done and baby turned they don't know if it was just due to the moxi. Mostly cuz they are doing other things too. I think its just one of those things you can try but its not a gaurantee. My MW did say she does think its works better while doing acupuncture at the same time. GL!

Have you also considered pre-natal chiropractic massage and adjustments? I've been going for 5 weeks to get posterior baby to turn anterior, and it worked!

Yes, I did it since 33 weeks with my acupuncturist, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.  My acupuncturist showed me how to do it...lite a moxa stick and have someone warm my pinky toe for 20 minutes a day...and we did it at home for 10 days.  Then we took a break for a few days and tried another week.  

I've read some posts here by ladies who had success with it, though.  I've read some studies about it, and I think it's worth trying.  Good luck!!

I tried it, but the smell was so awful, I only tried it 3 times. I know some people have had success, but for now I'd rather try chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture. GL, I hope we can all get our babies to turn!
