Welcome to Session 2 of the Breech Birth Program
Session 2
Session 2
In this session we will be looking at making some assessments for imbalances, maternal and fetal positioning and a circuit protocol to begin using as well as a meditation.
Testing for Uterine Unbalance
Use this guide to do some assessments as to why the baby may be breech. It can be helpful in determining a course of action for you and your baby. You can access the guide Testing for Uterine Unbalance here.
Some Helpful Resources to Start Using
Read Maternal and Fetal Positioning - use the practices presented in the guide. Be mindful as you move through your day of what you can do to help your baby's position.
The guide Help Baby Find Best Position for the Easiest Birth is a downloadable checklist that you can use and refer to.
Next, read The Miles Circuit. At this time, use a birth ball to sit on as often as you can. This helps to open the pelvis so the baby can rotate into the right direction. Also at this time use the side lying with pillows. A couple times a day is good if you can lay this way for a bit of time. This will also help to open your pelvis for rotation. DO NOT do the whole process until you are 38 weeks pregnant. Then you can follow the directions for the circuit. Doing the circuit together will help the baby rotate.
Next, read script for the Fear Release Meditation. You can have someone read it to you or use the MP3 recording to listen to.
