    Nope, not breech. Just been thinking about all the scenarios for some reason! DH isn't keen on homebirth (I'd LOVE one but anyway), he's happy with the FBC. But if bubs was breech....I've always turned up at the hossy 10cm (not totally deliberately but I do like to stay away!) so I guess the same might happen and they'd let me birth. Who knows. I think Dr. Lee is at the Angliss but apparantly not doing breech anymore

    It's such a shame though, as MM84 said. I just watched that link by Oorki Galoorki, saw a footlong breech....I hate that the birthing culture has become so fearful of breech when a lot of breech births can be handled safely with a bit of experience.

    Persephone - some encouragement - my friend's bub was breech up to 38 weeks. They did those breech manouveres on her at the hossy and got bubs to flip, but about 2 minutes later he flipped right back to breech....so she was booked for a c but when she turned up at the hossy for it they found he'd flipped again on the sly, so she ended up with a VB.
