WOOHOO! thanks for posting!

my partner said, "oh, so it's a little distressed?"

me:

him: ... pooping?

me: actually it's common for breech babies to poop during birth, because --

him: oh, it gets squeezed out of them?

me:



(at least that's what i remember from what i've read... correct me if i'm wrong ~ :LOL )

I wanted to share a link to another double footling home birth.


Down to towards the middle of the page you will see a picture of the little feet sticking out. There is two stories of the same birth. One is told by the mother, who is also a MD, and IBCLC. The other story is told by the LM who attended this birth.

Amazing stories!!! Absolutly Amazing!

So amazing!!! Just...WOW! My midwife will and has delivered double footlings. The pictures make me even more confident of having a homebirth even though my little one is head down.

That's how I was born! Not at home, but my Mom always told me the story of going to the restroom in the hospital and seeing my foot hanging out! So cool. I always wondered what it might have looked like. She did it without drugs. Amazing

thanks for the pictures Pam! Is that local to PDX? Who were the midwives?

I just think that it goes to show that when midwives are allowed to practice true midwifery (like they are in Oregon) their art shines!

Totally awesome!!! And what a good size baby too!

Makes me wonder why the baby died during the hb with the mw in PA... It was a known breech, then turned footling.
