Hi all, I was born breech. The week before I was born, I was head down, and then turned. Mom had an older OB who was experienced with breech births, and merely delivered me butt-first. Mom did say that she had a HUGE episiotomy. My midwives are trained in breech deliveries (though they don't do them at home - though I know of one case where they did one at home, because there just wasn't time to get to the hospital). So often on this board, I read about scheduled C-sections due to breech. But why not have the baby vaginally if it's not huge, and if it's in one of the safer breech positions (like frank breech). Has anyone here birthed a breech baby recently?

Not sure what type of breech they were. I had a scheduled c/s with my son who was in a footling breech position. He was large, it was supposed to be a VBAC and the staff were not confident, the best breech delivering OB was on leave. Larissa
