Towards the end of pregnancy, most babies will rotate into a head down position in preparation for birth. Breech, or head-up position, occurs in 3-5% of pregnancies at term. Moxibustion can be helpful in encouraging babies that are not turning into the head down position to do so and can be started as early as 34 weeks.
Most women report that baby becomes very active during the moxa treatment and for a period of time after. Right after the treatment is a great time do a forward leaning inversion or spend some time on hands and knees to give baby the most space possible to move around and find a head-down position.
