Would you give birth to a breech baby at home? - Page 4

[loveneverfails]

There is no way on heaven or on earth that I would intentionally give birth to a footling breech vaginally in any setting, even though I'm a grand multip with a very very roomy pelvis. At this point, I don't even know if I'd do a frank or complete breech vaginally, much less at home.

I talked to my midwife about this on Monday. My midwife isn't comfortable doing it by herself but she has another midwife she apprenticed under with great experience with breech. I might be talking with her in a few weeks because this kiddo likes being hanging out upside down. Of course we will be exploring all other options for turning the baby first.

breeches at home

I've done a number of breeches at home, If the pelvis is great & it is not a footling. And that's after encouraging my moms to do the headstands in pools/tilts on stiff boards with the bag of frozen veggies, and then versions, if the baby is still breech at 36 weeks of so. Most of the breeches have turned to headdown with early detection and then moms doing the exercises.
Most importantly, if your midwife is inexperinced, best results are to have experience there with you.

Thought I'd share this for anyone who is still dealing with breech presentation...

To answer the question though... I would definately deliver at home. In my state MW are not allowed to deliver breech births and NO OB will either.. So i'd be travelling for the birth as well..
