When Baby Lies Sideways – eBook
Help baby turn head down and have the birth you want with When Baby Lies Sideways, a self-directed program for pregnant parents with a transverse or oblique baby developed by Gail Tully, creator of Spinning Babies® and Certified Professional Midwife (CPM).
Gail discovered consistent results for the baby in a transverse lie from the Forward-leaning Inversion (FLI) created by Dr. Carol Phillips, DC. Gail shares her wisdom in this program, which will teach you how you can help your baby move from sideways or oblique to head down. Many transverse babies are head down within 48-hours of a day of focused activities.
“Thank you SO much for saving me all the pain of carrying him sideways and avoiding a C-section!”

Doctor Was Surprised: Transverse Baby Went Head down at Term
