Re: [ozmidwifery] breech baby wisdom

[Graham and Helen]

This is a great story and a great outcome.   I am just surprised that the 
hospital was prepared to wait another 27 hours and "allow" her to give birth 
naturally.  I would have expected them to be pushing for a caesar long 
before that, as is the norm these days.  I'd be interested to know if it was 
a battle or were they supportive.

Hi Lynne,
she had the ECV, which bubs took to kindly and remained head down. She 
went into spontaneous labour, after 24+ hard working hours at home they 
transferred to hospital for a rest and epidural. Another 27 hours later 
she birthed vaginally her strong, healthy 4.5 kg daughter. A mammoth 
effort, for which she is extremely proud of and rightly so.

thanks for asking,
Megan.

Does anyone know if there is compelling evidence why a VBAC should be
ruled
out because baby is in breech position, to add to it the feet are down,
not
bum?
Mum is about 35-36 weeks, planned homebirth, excellent supportive OBs, 
and
has a week ahead of bookings and tricks to help baby turn, Obs is also
supportive of ECV if necessary. Bubs just did the flip last week.

Any thought on this would be grately appreciated.
Its strange to hear comments from the likes of Ann Peacock and Tracy Curo
and to know and be with someone who would move heaven and earth for the
chance of a vaginal birth.
Thanks
Megan
