There are many different ways for midwives and moms to turn a breech baby to vertex, some may work better than others, depending upon the individual woman and baby and the underlying causes of the breech presentation. Rather than rewriting many of these techniques, I will simply link to the Midwife Archives and the wealth of information already present.



The Midwife Archives has gathered a large amount of information about breech issues and attending breech births as well as various suggestions about turning breeches. Check out these informational links:

Midwife Archives - Attending A Breech Birth

Contains information about the safety of breech birth, waterbirth and breeches, complication discussions about cervix clamping of head and cord pinching, changing attitudes toward breeches by medical professionals, breech-vertex turning, breech pelvimetry, and techniques for breech birth.
