Do you have clients who are told they will need to have a cesarean birth because their baby is in a breech position, but your client still wants a vaginal birth?

In today’s episode Lynn talks with mother of 4 soon to be 5, Anna Crow, about her experience with breech birth and how she made her dream of having a natural breech birth possible. 

Anna, originally from WI, had moved to CO and was pregnant with her second child. She found out at 40+ weeks that her baby was breech. She desired a natural home birth, but in the state of Colorado, midwives are not allowed to deliver a breech baby. Anna wound up traveling back to Wisconsin to have the birth she desired with a midwife who had over 500 breech births to her name.

Due to higher liability with a breech birth many physicians are denied learning how to deliver this normal presentation for birth. It is up to moms who desire the opportunity to have a vaginal delivery to reach out to the local hospitals and practices as well as legislators to make the change they desire to hear.
