When I was pregnant with my son, I found out that my baby was breech at 38 weeks. My dr said that we could schedule an external cephalic version followed by induction if successful or c-section if not. Or we could just schedule the c-section. My dr doubted that an ECV would be successful at this point because my baby was 9.5lbs. None of those options were acceptable to me. I came home and began to research. I found out about the Webster technique and went to www.icpa4kids.com to find a chiropractor in my area certified in Webster. I called each one within a 50 mile radius and discussed their personal success rate with them. I found one that I really clicked with. She had a lot of experience with Webster including performing it on women who were already in labor. I went to her the next day and was surprised at how simple and non-invasive the Webster Technique was! As I made the 45 minute drive home, I felt my baby flip to the vertex position. It was truly an amazing feeling! I finally had relief from that big hard head that was poking me in the ribs. Over the weekend my baby returned to the breech position so I returned to my chiropractor. At this time I was 39 weeks. I had Webster again and my baby returned to the vertex position. I continued to get Webster every couple of days until I went into labor and had the beautiful natural birth that I dreamed of.
