The Webster technique can also help the fetus
  • Improves the baby’s development and removes nerve interference
  • Allows the baby room to move and develop without restricting the formation of the cranium, spine and skeletal structures
  • Offers the baby room to move into the best birth position
  • Improves fetal positioning, which decreases the chance of trauma during birth

What causes a breech baby
  • There can be many reasons for a baby to become breech.  The most common is intra uterus constraint.  The shape of the uterus is normally egg shaped and the heaviest part of the baby is the head.  Those two factors will normally turn the baby’s head down.
