I've been present at (and caught!) some lovely breech births but also been present at:
one tentorial tear, cactus baby,
one fractured cervical spine, lifted up too early... cactus baby,
one trapped head, dead baby.
They were all living and well at the beginning of the birth.
I don't agree at all with the idea of caesaring all breech babies but I have huge fears when I see inexperienced (and some who should be experienced) people stepping up to 'deliver' these babies.

They're also trying to avoid the dangers of managed breech birth - go figure!

 Hi all,

Why are breech (sometimes) routinely CS'd. What risks are they actually trying to avoid for the baby?
