Breech Presentation

[Dr.Vikas Verma]

Breech presentation is presentation of a fetus in a longitudinal lie with the buttocks or feet closest to the cervix. This occurs in 3-4% of all deliveries. The percentage of breech deliveries decreases with advancing gestational age from 22% of births prior to 28 weeks' gestation to 7% of births at 32 weeks' gestation to 1-3% of births at term.

Common predisposing factors for breech presentation include premature uterine malformations or fibroids, Ployhydramnios and placenta praevia, fetal abnormalities (eg, CNS malformations, neck masses ), and multiple gestations. Fetal abnormalities are observed in 17% of preterm breech deliveries and in 9% of term breech deliveries.

 Indicated Homoeopathic medicnes is Pulsatilla

Abnormal position:  Aconite , Pulsatilla.

As if foetus is lying crosswise : Arnica

[Vaikunthanath das Kaviraj.]

In cases of breech, the MM recommends a dose of Pulsatilla 200C, after which everything stops, the baby will turn and present properly. Then we are recommended to follow with Caulophyllum 1M, to get the contractions going again and have a normal delivery.

[Dr.Vikas Verma]

Yes Pulsatilla 200 single dose has given great results in many cases with in hrs.

I had an experience which I have already mentioned in the other forum of pregnancy, that I was only using the constitutional medicine and that automatically changed the breech to vertex presentation. I was surprised!

[Vaikunthanath das Kaviraj.]

The similimum does everything, is it not, Nilanjana. The constitutional remedy is in that case the excact similimum. Well done, and keep it up!
