Breech

Case: Alisa came into the office Breech at 34 weeks.

We found out from our OB that our baby was breech at 34 weeks and our doula recommended that we see Dr. Berlin as soon as possible. I came in to see Dr. Berlin for his uterine release technique and Jason Starr (the acupuncturist) for moxabustion.

The baby flipped over within the first ten minutes of the treatment. Dr. Berlin suggested that we go for an untrasound to confirm and sure enough she was in the correct position. We were thrilled and astonished and how quickly and effective Dr. Berlin's treatment was. I was really impressed by the high quality level of care of everyone at Berlin Wellness Group. I feel so lucky to have found out about these services when I did. Thank you!

Note From Dr. Berlin: Although this has happened several times this year (where the baby turns in the office during the session), I need to emphasize that we do NOT do any obstetric breech turning maneuvers. We do not attempt to physically turn your baby, but rather to gently relax the tension in the muscles, bones and ligaments around the uterus to help the baby settle naturally into the correct position.

Case: Molly came into the office Breech at 36 weeks.

My baby was breech at 36 weeks and I was looking for an alternative to an external version or C-section. A friend of mine recommended Dr. Berlin. I saw Dr. Berlin and the acupuncturist, Jason Starr. Everyone was so kind and understanding. Dr. Berlin guided us through what he was going to do. We were totally new to the whole idea and he made it much easier to digest. Dr. Berlin did the Webster Technique and suddenly my baby turned right there on the spot!

You really saved me and my baby from having to go through unwanted and intrusive medical procedures. For that I am truly grateful. Thank G-d I had a beautiful delivery and a gorgeous healthy baby boy! Thank you!

Note From Dr. Berlin: Although this has happened six or seven times this year (where the baby turns in the office during the session), I need to emphasize that the Webster Technique is not an obstetric breech turning technique. We do not attempt to physically turn your baby, but rather to gently relax the tension in the muscles, bones and ligaments around the uterus.

Case: Carrie came into the office Breech at 34 weeks.

Having desired (and prepared myself for) a natural childbirth, I was shocked and quite upset when I learned that my baby was breech at 34 weeks. However, my OB Dr. Jay Goldberg referred me to Berlin Wellness Group, and said that Dr. Berlin had had some success in flipping his patients' breech babies. "Some success," at least in my case, was quite an understatement. After a 45-minute pregnancy massage, Dr. Berlin cracked my lower back, and immediately my baby flipped into place. It was almost as if she was just waiting for my body to open up so that she could move into the correct position! I continued to see Dr. Berlin for the next 5 weeks in order to loosen up my ligaments and muscles, and to keep my lower back moving correctly. At about 37 weeks I also began seeing Jason Starr, the accupuncturist, to help prepare my body for a childbirth and to work on natural pain management techniques. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl two days before my due date, without drugs, and having pushed for only 25 minutes. I firmly believe that the relative ease of my childbirth can be attributed to the fact that I was so well aligned, relaxed, and healthy going into it. I would (and have!) recommend Berlin Wellness Group to anyone.

Case: Shannon came into the office Breech at 34 weeks.

"I was referred to Dr. Berlin's office by my doula. I was 31 years old and 34 weeks pregnant with my fourth child. This baby was in a transverse breech position. I had never experienced any complications with any of my other children. I was a nervous wreck and I wasn't really happy about the possibility of having a C-Section or having that painful ECV. Not to mention, I was having such massive hip pain and sciatic nerve issues that I could barely walk. I wasn't able to keep up with my other children. Driving in the minivan, bending down, or getting up from the couch became tedious chores. All of this and I was only 34 weeks! On my 1st visit with Dr. Berlin he knew exactly what areas were out of alignment by a simple, painless exam. He thoroughly explained what was going on with the my body and how it affects the spine and circulatory system. His humor and the analogies that he uses are hilarious and really help to alleviate that awkward doctor/patient feeling. It's kind of like getting a comedy show rolled into your visit. After the first visit, I felt less pressure on my hips. After the 2nd visit, my baby was in the correct position for delivery and my hip pain was gone. On my last visit, Doctor Berlin fixed my sciatic nerve pain. I was almost sad when I realized that I now have nothing else to visit him for; luckily he does wellness visits and birth preparation sessions. Thanks Dr. B!"
