When the baby's position is not the Cephalic presentation, or in other words, when the baby has not turned head-down, there are complementary therapies to avoid a  C-section

Acupuncture offers moxibustion therapy, which is to apply heat with the herb mugwort or moxa to specific points for 20 minutes per session on each point. With this, the baby begins to move head down. With the first acupuncture session, you will notice that the baby starts to move. Sometimes, several sessions are necessary until the baby is in the desired position.

Usually, on week 32, babies should be in a head-down position; if at week 34, your baby is still not in the correct head-up place, it is time to help him with acupuncture and moxibustion. If you are expecting twins, the therapy moxibustion is not used in this case; however, will be used acupuncture points like SJ 5 & GB 41  to relax the hips and pelvic area; it is worth mentioning that acupuncture will also help you to be relaxed..
