Seth's natural breech birth. (Long.) - Page 2

post #21 of 39
I love reading "Farm" birth stories! Breech births are so wonderful to hear about! I was just at a midwifery conference where there was a breech workshop. We watched several videos and were able to be hands-on, practicing breech deliveries. Fascinating! Love this stuff! Delivering breeches is sadly becoming a lost art.

Heh, it was funny to see my birth story on the boards after all this time.

Luckily, the art of breech birth mostly involves leaving the mother alone, so I am hoping it will be pretty easy to bring back once we get smarter again.

Glad you enjoyed it, I did too.

So true! Repeated over and over again at the breech workshop I attended was, "Hands OFF the Breech!"

What a fantastic story! A Farm birth! Congrats, and thanks for sharing!

A five hour drive, huh? You might be in my neck of the woods, DC. When I was planning my twin homebirth I considered going to the Farm. Found a under-the-radar MW in town, but that would have been a good option!

Thanks for sharing your story! It was great to read and hopefully will inspire many people and enlighten them about breech births.

Great birth story! So did you end up beating your friend?

Heh, nope. She had a head start and a shorter labor (but also pitocin and an epidural, which she didn't want - she's thinking about a homebirth next time), and beat me by 13 hours.

Our two boys share a birthday, though. It's really neat, I babysit her son three or four days a week, so they've been growing up together.

What a gorgeous birth story, and Ina May Gaskin knitting socks in the corner! She's done so much for midwifery.

She did a lot for me, too, just by giving me a place to birth.

Heh, I'm glad people are enjoying my story again, it's so funny when old ones get pulled back up. My son will be 3 in about a month!

And if we're lucky, in 10 or 11 months I'll have another good story to post.

What a wonderful birth story! I too delivered a breech baby vaginally and recall feeling some of the things you described. Way to make it happen mama!
