Hi everyone,

I'm currently 35 weeks pregnant and my bubs has been firmly in breech position since 29 weeks (and before, but confirmed at 29 weeks!) I have been doing everything I can to encourage the little one to turn - chiro, osteo, spinning babies, acupuncture, moxabustion, swimming, etc. I had an ultrasound last week which confirmed that there is no obvious reason as to why the baby would be in this position. Eg. No developmental, physical, obstructions, etc... all clear and the baby appears to be very happy!

This is my second baby - at 34 weeks in my first pregnancy my baby was head down and engaged and I had a natural vaginal delivery drug free in a birth centre. So this has taken me by surprise!

We were planning a homebirth this time around, but that vision is quickly becoming more and more blurry. I am planning to have an ECV in a couple of weeks. If that doesn't work I am currently looking into my options. There is obviously the option of an elective caesarean. I would like to know what other options there are in between!

I am specifically wondering if anyone has had experiencing giving birth to a breech baby vaginally, how it went and how they did it (eg where and with whom).. and also whether anyone can recommend any Obs that would support a breech vaginal birth. I have found some lists online, but personal stories would be really great too.

I can't find any recent stories online on forums and so on, guessing this is becoming more and more rare as more and more people have a caesarean for breech... any thoughts or information would be appreciated!!

Thanks
