I unfortuneately (or maybe fortuneately by the sounds of things) did not get to read the SMH article.
I must admit though reading through some of the comments here and having read the results of the term breech hold the same fears as many of you do. The term breech trial has meant that many women will not even be given the chance to try this method of birth because of the flawed study, but the really ironic thing is that one of the doctors who participated (not an author) in this trial was the doctor who delivered my first VBAC child. At the time of my sons delivery my OB had agreed that even if my son was breech at term he would be more than happy for me to have a vaginal breech VBAC delivery because of how sucessful he saw the outcomes of the trial were - and yes at that time the results had not been published but as far as he was concerned for a frank or full breech a vaginal delivery should be at least attempted if the mother was willing as he believed the outcomes of this were positive - its a pity he wasn't involved in writing the final paper!
wasn't it.
