Unfortunately, I just had my 1st breech transport yesterday. Very sad. She so didn't want to transport, which of course ended in a C/S but after many hours trying not to push as the butt came throught a 9cm cx, she was complete & pushed for 3 hrs, before we convinced her the wisdom of a transport. As morning turned to afternoon, I kept ...

Yes, I attended one last year, in fact I have sent the beautiful pics to Jan already. Only the 1st baby was born in the water though, she got out of the tub for the 2nd.
Also, another former client choose to birth her twins in the hosp, in Dayton, She had both hers in the birth pool.

She said no way! Found another midwife & me to attend her at home, & had a wonderful birth! She was very low risk, in fact a scarred uterus was ...

OH has no laws limiting non-nurse midwifery. So we are free to use our own descretion whether or not to attend twins, breeches, VBACs etc. A few yrs ago, I even attended the birth of breech twins! The 1st was a frank breech & the 2nd was transverse, but after waiting a few hrs for him to change position, he finally came out heels ...

Of course vaginal breech is possible, and successful for most who have the courage to try. But still not "normal". It is a fact that a greater % of breech babies die than cephalic babies... no matter how they are delivered. I totally agree that a breech baby is a very poor CYA excuse for doing a C/S. Doctors ...
