Why Babies Go Breech (And What You Can Do About It)

Local Success Story: Mama of Four

One local mama came to us in her 4th pregnancy. She already had three little girls at home, but this time she was told her baby was breech. She wanted to avoid unnecessary interventions and have the natural birth she dreamed of.

After just one month of consistent chiropractic care, her pelvis was balanced, her body felt more relaxed, and at her next appointment… baby was no longer breech. Head down, right where they were meant to be. 🙌

Her story is a reminder: when we support mom’s body, we support baby too.

When moms hear “your baby is breech,” the first reaction is often fear. But here’s the truth: breech is a normal variant of birth. It simply means baby is positioned bottom-down or feet-first instead of head-down.

Early in pregnancy, breech is very common. Most babies flip on their own by the third trimester, but sometimes restrictions in mom’s body can make it harder for baby to move freely.

Why Babies Go Breech

While sometimes breech happens for no obvious reason, common contributing factors include:

  • Pelvic or spinal misalignments creating imbalance

  • Tight or stressed ligaments surrounding the uterus

  • Uterine shape or tone

  • Placenta placement or cord length

  • Stress and tension patterns in mom’s nervous system

When mom’s body isn’t balanced, baby may not have the space or mobility needed to rotate naturally.

How Chiropractic Care Supports Pregnancy & Breech Babies

Chiropractic doesn’t “flip the baby.” Instead, gentle adjustments restore balance and alignment to the pelvis and nervous system. This helps by:

  • Reducing stress and tension in the uterus and surrounding ligaments

  • Improving pelvic alignment for more space

  • Supporting optimal communication between mom’s nervous system and uterus

  • Creating the conditions for baby to move into the best position on their own

The goal isn’t force — it’s freedom. By helping mom’s body find balance, we give baby the best chance to turn naturally.
