Why do they need to uncross, let alone touch the feet Kelly? Best practice for assisting a woman to birth her breech is HANDS OFF as much as possible. I was taught to leave baby alone as much as possible until feet, bottom, body have been born. Any assistance if needed is once baby's neck is at

Hi Cath She is visiting in North Sydney but is actually a UK resident not a US resident. I suppose that doesn't make a difference anyway. I will pass on your comments to her midwife who will let her know. How sad that she may be faced with having her baby here rather than with her family.

Sorry last post sent in error. Try again. There is a reciprocal agreement with UK she is entitled maternity care through that. This would enable her to access public midwifery services. Alternatively she should get an Independent midwife, most overseas insurance does allow for this. Lisa
