Can we have the names of these practitioners then? As a member of the three consumer groups, I get weekly phone calls from women wanting these kinds of births, and they have no way of finding out who might or might not support them…only yesterday I talked to someone who has a friend who has twins, second one presenting breech, and has been told that the only way to ‘deliver’ them is in theatre by section, and that there is ‘no-one in Adelaide that would do it any differently’. I’d love to know who the ob’s are that are at least open to discussing this with women, and that’s how I’d frame it, if asked, that these people would be worth making an appointment with and at least talking to about it…

I work in the private system where we have just recently had a vaginal breech delivery. She was a known breech presentation ( 2nd baby ) and wanted a vaginal delivery. Her doctor fully supported her in this decision. She went into natural labour / no pain relief got up on to the bed a the last minute and everything was very hands off. We have also had three sets of twins born in the last month who were vaginal delivery ( 2 primips / 1 multi ) all with the second twin breech. These women all knew that it was 'possible' to have the birth they wanted even though they were in the private system. This was with three different doctors who are all 'skilled' in breech delivery. cheers zoe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lisa Barrett Sent: Tuesday, 30 January 2007 4:58 PM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Breech Ob in S.A. I think your friend would probably be safer with an elective c/s than attempting a breech birth in the private system. it is unlikely to be physiological but will be medically managed which is just not safe. If she is seriously considering a breech birth it's important that the practitioner is confident in breech birth and physiological labour. In both the public and private system the care is undertaken by midwives and the breech extracted by an Ob, this is not something I would recommend.

Sorry if this is a double post, didn’t see it come through: “Are there any Obs in Adelaide who are waterbirth and breech birth friendly? My friend is hoping to get into the Midwifery Group Practice at the Womens and Children's in Adelaide. Places are limited though and rather than the public system being the second option she would prefer private care with an Ob. Ultimately her birthing preference would be to have a waterbirth... are there any Obs that are open to accommodating this request? At the same time... are their any Obs in Adelaide that will deliver a breech baby vaginally (says something positive for their philosophy on birth)? Any recommendation/help with this would be greatly appreciated!!” Best Regards, Kelly Zantey Creator, HYPERLINK "http://www.bellybelly.com.au"BellyBelly.com.au Conception, Pregnancy, Birth and Baby HYPERLINK "http://www.abpnsconference2007.com.au/"Australian Birth & Post Natal Services Conference 2007 -- No virus found in this incoming message.
