As a middy I have seen footling breechs born vaginally. Although I would not recommend it if there was a choice. None have been pretty unlike the Frank breech. There are also 4 operating theatres where I work but after hours only one is available. Only one theatre team in on call and I have been in a situation where it was a life or death thing and they did not even attempt to call a second team in. To run a theatre you need a scrub nurse, scout nurse, anaethetic nurse as well as your anaethetist, surgeon, recovery nurse and usually a wards men for the transfers and cleaning as well as your CSSD staff for the instrument cleaning (then paed and midwife in c/s)

Emergencies are often catergories into areas as what is the greatest need. The most likely to go in would be your antepartum haemorrages (from uterine rupure, placenta previa, abruption, unknown etc) then others that are emergencies such as malpresentation it may even be possible to wait up to several hours (certainly not in your case Just me)

I was in that situation myself when I had a rupturing ectopic pregnancy and an MVA came in as I was getting prep for OT and 9pm Sat night. 3 people were operated on that night (only one survived) and I didn't end up going in until 9am Sunday morning. I though been a staff member they might have been able to call an team in but no. But we are looking at a rural hospital. I know some of the hospitals in Sydney have over 20 going at once.

Sorry to crash your thread. I have a dear friend doing the exact thing at the moment. And she did it with her last baby too and all was good. She was adament that her bub would choose when he was ready to come not be evicted when it suited others.
