content+="Between 32-35 weeks most babies turn to a cephalic position (head down). The earlier a malpresentation is diagnosed the greater the chances of turning it before hand, before it grows too big!
";
content+="Remember to ask your midwife at 35 weeks what position your baby is in as it is often left until later & the scans to confirm breech are used past the optimal date for turning the baby. It is also very useful to know what type of breech it is as this can have an impact on the success of it turning or compatibility for vaginal birth. Details of the advantages & disadvantages of booked/planned, necessary & emergency caesarean section can be given.
";
content+="A 'Moxa' treatment can be shown & taught during a consultation & diagnosis, so that treatment can be continued at home for 10 days. A midwife observation of fetal position should be preformed during this time. A follow up consultation may be needed & treatment can continue at home if necessary. This should ideally be preformed between 34/35 weeks but can be taken as late as 38 weeks. This treatment works well with External Manual Version- EMV.

";
content+="The treatment sessions were in no way rushed, and I felt that she had a lot of time to answer my questions and allay my fears and doubts.
