"Hypnotherapy may help pregnant women turn their breech baby around to the normal head-first, or vertex, position. A researcher at the University of Vermont, Burlington, used hypnosis with one hundred pregnant women whose fetuses were in the breech (feet-first) position between the thirty-seventh and fortieth week of gestation.
The intervention group received hypnosis with suggestions for general relaxation and release of fear and anxiety. While under hypnosis, the women were also asked why their baby was in the breech position.
The study, which appeared in the Archives of Family Medicine, reported that 81 percent of the fetuses in the hypnosis group moved to the vertex position, compared with 48 percent of the control group. Not surprisingly, hypnosis was most effective for the women motivated to use the technique."

I want to tell you on Saturday that I felt her turn last Sunday night (about 5 hours after our session I listened to your script again to double the effect), and in an hour I felt our baby Sonya’s head down. I went to see my doctor for my regular appointment and he did confirm that she turned the right way!
I just want to thank you again for your prompt help and considerate approach.
