hi Debbie, if shes anywhere near newcatle, tell her to go to Andrew Bisits at john hunter. he really is a lovely and respectful man and has strong points against the term breech trial that he explains to all women in written info. the MWs at jhh are also experienced and they catch the breech babies with dr bisits in attendance. (also im sure theres quite a few home birth MWs who are equally experienced and would take her on) its so sad to see day after day women going for caesars when the only indication is breech.. love emily
