When I was a bubs, I was born 9 days past EDD - and turned 8 days before EDD - so the day before I was born. Most babies these days - actually all in hospital - are not given the luxury or trust to do that. The problem is not the safety of breech birth, but the lack of skills and lack of motivation for the Obs to learn how to do this. They don't do it because they don't teach it. Traditional midwives had these skills and now birth is dominated by Obs and the role of midwifery in hospitals is practically forcing midwives to be nurses to the doctors, we're losing vital skills.
