Re: [ozmidwifery] Breech birth question

[Abby and Toby]

>>Couple that with knowledge and common sense and you will cope with most midwifery situations including breech birth.marilyn    Thanks for sharing Marilyn. I think that paragraph was pretty full on too......actually, I thought most of it was coming from a very "managed" and aggressive approach.   Was your breech birth any different to your other births? It really interests me, the perspective of mothers birthing breech babies. I assume that most breech babies are "delivered" by c-section these days in hospitals and a lot of mothers believe this is the only way.   Do you think that the high numbers of morbidity or injury in breech birth statistics is because peope have not kept their hands and management out of the births? I wonder what the stats would be if there was a study done on completely natural breech births, not that stats tell everything, but it would be an interesting comparison of hospitals/home/managed to natural/ unmanaged.   Love Abby- always thinking, always asking. lol.
