Afternoon Midwife Sally. I want to ask this question, is it safe for pregnant women to do belly massage, I mean those traditional massages offered by elder women in the society? for example when the baby’s head hasn’t dropped down this elders can massage the belly to initiate the head to drop down. Are this massages clinical proven to be ok.

Sally: In my line of duty, we have experienced similar cases where women go to untrained persons for their baby’s to be turned. Example when a baby is breech they try to maneuver the baby to get into the right position without any scan, special skills or proper monitoring

Some come with placenta abruptio. Placenta separating prematurely due to the maneuver. Which further results in bleeding and complications.

It’s important you to seek help from trained professionals
