[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My breech baby was born healthy by c- section and I am glad for that.

Please just don't risk tragedy.

I was very, very happy with the outcome, and thankful.[/quote]

Ok, since we're doing anecdotes, I know someone who has secondary infertility due to a severe c section scar, which also causes her severe pain. [/quote]

more than a stillbirth? come on. [/quote]

There are places in the world with lower maternal and fetal fatality rates than the United States where a vaginal breech delivery is considered an acceptable option if criteria are met (Frank vs Footling breech, safe size, etc) but in the U.S. [b]I think you will struggle to find a practitioner that is really experienced in breech delivery— and *that* is a real risk.[/b][/quote]

Completely agree with this. Most doctors/midwives just aren't trained for breech deliveries.

My first was breech from 33 weeks - I did all the things (spinning babies, yoga, chiropractor, acupuncture) but ended up having a successful ECV at 36-37 weeks.  The odds are good your baby will flip so do what you can now!

Dr. Shara Posner at Back to Health is a great chiropractor in Alexandria. Sadly, the best maternal acupuncturist in Alexandria, Ngemile Jones, recently passed away. But I think there are a few acupuncturists in the area that specialize in breech.

Good luck - I hope you end up with a healthy baby and a quick birth recovery, whatever it ends up looking like.
