We want to study the efficiency of acupuncture for cephalic version of breech presentation during pregnancy. Several randomized studies show that acupuncture may be useful in version of breech presentation, but none with a sham. Protocol : * Inclusion of patients with fetus in breech presentation at 32-34 weeks of pregnancy. * Randomization. First group : acupuncture by stimulation of "67 Bladder" point.Second group : stimulation of "45 Stomach" point (sham). * Ultrasonographic control of presentation at 35 weeks.
