talking with a midwife
At the first appointment we tend to get familiar with each other and you are introduced with the method we use for the gentle baby turning. During the appointment you decide which method suits you.
the nutrition blood test
Doctor Lemm has realised the muscles of the uterus and the abdominal muscles are not relaxed enough in women who lack vitamins D and B12, proteins and magnesium. Sometimes, they lack calcium. For this reason we recommend doing the tests which are covered by the health insurance. The results are ready in 2-3 days, and afterwards we determine the dose accordingly. Our advice is to take magnesium from the first day because most women do not have enough.
After taking the blood test we can see how nourished the blood of a pregnant woman is. If we notice some deficiency, we propose magnesium, vitamin D, proteins, B-complex vitamins and other necessary supplements. This allows the muscles to be able to relax.

moxibustion
Moxibustion is a TCM method of heating acupuncture points with a herbal cigarette. Moxa-treatments are used in pregnancy on the meridian point on the toe to trigger the movement of a child and enable it to go from the breech position to the skull position. We have the highest success in turning the baby if moxa is done daily 6 days in a row. After the 6 weeks and two acupuncture treatments, we suggest doing the ultrasound to check if the baby has turned. If the result is not favourable, we suggest repeating the two acupunctures. Also, if your pregnancy has passed the 35th week, you can also go with the procedure. However we need to confirm first that the baby has enough space, otherwise it is not effective.
acupuncture
Acupuncture is done on the points which trigger the relaxation of the physical body. Also, the psychological points are treated because emotional and psychological tension are inseparable from the physical body according to TCM and holistic medicine. Acupuncture is done twice a week, either before or after moxibustion.
breathing relaxation
Breathing relaxation exercise is a unique exercise which we can address as a simple meditation. Dr Lemm has realised that mindful concentration during the breathing exercises is beneficial and relaxes a woman before the delivery. There is a higher percentage of success in moxibustion if our mind and body are relaxed.
