Breech Presentation

How confident are you working with clients who want help turning their breech positioned babies?

Do you have clients who want to try and deliver vaginally even though their baby is breech? 

Over the past few months, in preparation for the Birth Healing Summit, Lynn has been learning a lot about breech birth. In today’s podcast, she shares the highlights of what she has learned and talks about what we can do as bodyworkers, PTs, and OTs to help clients with breech babies.

Breech births account for 4% of all term babies. Although breech presentation is considered a normal variation of birth in most of the world, in the USA most physicians and hospitals require the birthing person to have a c-section when the baby is breech. Listen in to learn what is required (or rather what isn’t) to support the client and the baby during a vaginal delivery of a baby that is breech. Lynn also shares some information you can use prenatally to help give a baby more space, opportunity and balance.

Keep an eye out for Lynn’s new pregnancy course, Pregnancy Pain and Beyond, which will be opening up for registration on May 5th. This course will give you a strong foundation for working with pregnant clients and expanding beyond just addressing pain. You will learn how to prepare the body for birth, including utilizing techniques to help with breech positioning.
