Turn A Breech Baby With Hypnosis: WHAT??

I’m excited to report that I  was able to turn a breech baby with hypnosis. Well, this was my fifth one this year, to be honest. On Wednesday, after I had done a week of acupuncture treatments with my client for just that purpose, she went in for a sonogram. Audrey still had not turned. My client was facing an epidural and a very painful manual procedure. I am an acupuncturist and a medical hypnotherapist, but I’m wary of suggesting hypnosis to acupuncture clients (and vice versa). Nevertheless, I suggested just to her that we use Hypnosis to turn the baby, and that I felt strongly that it would work. Mind you I had it before, but I never want to sound to sure of myself, because frankly, we are not that predictable.

It all started when I read about a study had been done with 200 women with breech babies. Half had gotten hypnosis and half didn’t.  Of those that received hypnosis (4 sessions), 81% turned, versus 26% of those who had not.  Mom-to-be was of the normal variety person: skeptical but desperate. Her exact words were: “I’ll try anything”.

So we did hypnosis four out of the next five nights, knowing that the sixth was E(pidural) Day. For good measure (and with the client’s blessings) I also did acupuncture while she was in trance. I got word later that afternoon on E Day that the baby had, in fact, turned.  The sonogram tech was shocked: In nine years she had not seen anyone who was about to get an epidural not need it.

That alone made my day.
