39. Your Baby's Position Matters: When to Check, Ways to Help Baby Turn, & Surrendering the Outcome to God

Send us Fan MailIn this episode I'm joined by Dr. Marrow, a board-certified OBGYN and VBAC mom from Full Circle Women's Care, to discuss a topic that can feel overwhelming for many moms: what to do when your baby is breech, transverse, or in another challenging position for birth.Together we explore the timeline of when baby's position truly matters (hint: not at your 20-week scan!), natural techniques to encourage optimal positioning, and what actually happens during an ECV—the medical procedure to turn a breech baby. Dr. Marrow shares from both her professional expertise and her personal journey from a fear-filled cesarean to a redemptive VBAC, offering wisdom that blends evidence-based care with faith-centered encouragement.Whether you're currently navigating a breech presentation, curious about your options if baby isn't head-down, or simply want to be prepared with knowledge before you reach the third trimester—this conversation offers practical tools, medical insight, and the reminder that birth is beautiful regardless of the route.In this episode, we discuss: 🤰 When to actually start paying attention to baby's position (32-36 weeks) 💫 Natural techniques like Spinning Babies, the Miles Circuit, and chiropractic care 🏥 What an ECV really involves and the 50-60% success rate ✨ The rise of gentle cesareans and creating a beautiful birth experience 🙏 How to steward what you can control while surrendering outcomes to GodMentioned in this episode: 📋 Miles Circuit handout for optimal positioning👶 Spinning Babies Technique - A program designed to help create room for a breech baby to find a more optimal position✨ Christian Mama Birth Prep Library - Free birth prep tools, worship playlists & more💕 Work with Me 1:1 – Virtual Doula Support & Schedule a Private Coaching Call✝️ Online Christian Childbirth Education - Explore my complete birth preparation self-paced course📞 Free 15-Minute Discovery Call: Schedule your no-obligation consultation with me today!
