Re: [ozmidwifery] first catch at home...
Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] first catch at home... Congratulations Tania That family was meant to find you and your midwife friend. What a wonderful initiation to your homebirth career. Can you find time to write to Maggie Banks about this birth? She is keeping records of homebirth breech stories for her research.

WOW!! Can't tell you how many things were going around in my head during the birth, but I think I remained calm on the exterior, or so I'm told! Result - 3.4kg baby girl, 2 3/4 hour established labour, SROM in water with some fresh thin mec, and then out came the feet, stood up, body, arms, and then after one little push, a gorgeous round 36cm head, all caught on video by a wonderful friend of the woman. And I was wonderfully supported by a midwife friend who came to act as a spare pair of hands/photographer, water carrier.what a joy and comfort it was to share it with her! Gotta sleep, but wanted to share, what an amazing experience for us all!! Tania
