“We would put headphones in my pockets and try to get the baby to get curious and listen down at the bottom. We would get out the ironing board and I would lay on the ironing board upside down but none of those things worked, he stayed put. I felt a little bit of pain, but it happened very quickly. I was very surprised how easily it happened, and I was so relieved because as soon as he was finished he checked the baby’s heart rate and everything was fine.” Vanessa told Inside Edition.

Dr. Cumming came to asses the situation to see if he could get the little guy to turn. Nick had his camera rolling while the OB/GYN rolled his hand around in a circular motion. You can actually see the baby start to move, it hugs the side of Vanessa’s belly as the baby flips.

Breech babies happen when a baby doesn’t turn head first to be born, they risk being born feet first which can close off their oxygen way and stop them from breathing.
