Hi Debbie,
oddly enough I too know 2 women in
exactly this position atm. The dangers of choosing a surgeon for the care of a
perfectly normal pregnancy are becoming clear at this point.
There's an OB at JHH that deigns to
catch breech babies - Andrew Bisits (sp?) - so perhaps he's one to try. I can't
imagine agreeing to major surgery, with it's attendant risks, but I also can't
imagine trying to birth my baby with a bunch of cranky onlookers. Women are just
plain screwed in this scenario and it drives me into a rage. I shall content
myself with sharing the info on turning breech babies I seem to have been
supplying on a daily basis this week.
One midwife’s collection of breech turning info.

those women?
All love and strength to
her.
