We have a couple of vaginal breech birth options in hospitals around here. One requires you to get the works- epidural, CAT scan, birth in OR etc etc. Another one lets you labour in a pool and then you have to birth in the OR but there are no more 'restrictions'. The whole thing still creeps me out as birth in hospital doesn't seem very safe for mothers or babies in my opinion. All that poking and prodding after birth. But at least you would go in with a private MW and crazy birth plan I guess. I think I'd look into freebirthing options with an unregistered caregiver if it came to that.
ETA: And BTW how the hell does having an epidural assist a breech birth?? Surely being flat on your back and closing your pelvis is a terrible position for breech birth?
