Hi, my 3rd child was breech at 35 weeks and I too went to a chiropractor. I tried ice on the top of my stomach (babies will turn towards heat), music to the bottom of my stomach (babies turn towards sound), laying upside down on an ironing board that was tilted from ground to couch (it lifts them out of the pelvis and allows them room to turn), moxibustion (a chinese herb burned by the little toes that causes a baby to turn), plus the webster technique (aligns your spine so the baby will be comfortable in a head down position). One of the above worked for me because Jack turned and I was able to have a vaginal delivery. As a L&D nurse, I thought I was going crazy "trying" all these alternatives but something was successful. I suggest her trying these before an external version. Things can go wrong and they are very painful for the patient. Here is a website for a chiropractor certified in the webster technique!

ICPA Research Foundation - Home Page (click on find a doctor and look for webster technique certified)

Keep us posted on how she does!!!
