Have you been told your baby is breech and recommended to receive an ECV? ( External Cephalic Version)
Are you now currently on a mission to educate yourself in all options that can help turn your baby in case the ECV doesn't work?
There are few options out there that can help you turn your baby from breech position, although much like an ECV.... all options cannot guarantee baby will turn.
Prenatal Yoga Recommends...
An inversion pose such as downward facing dog.
Downward facing dog gives your baby extra room to move.
Come into downward facing dog for no longer than 1-2 minutes
How to Downward Facing Dog
Start on your hands and knees.
Tuck your toes under and press your hips back.
Relax your head. ** If you feel pressure behind your eyes or light headed then don'r relax your head, instead set your gaze forward towards your hands**
Downward Facing Dog Modification
If you feel downward facing dog is a little challenging to come into, then do Puppy Pose instead.
How to Puppy Pose
Start on your hands and knees.
Stack your forearms on top of one another
Rest your forehead on your forearms
Press sit bones up towards ceiling, hips are stacked over your knees
