Michelle, I know it was a long time ago, but my brother was delivered by vaginal breech (footling too!) birth 24 years ago. My mum wasn't keen on it, and asked for a caesar, but her Ob (who is also mine!) told her that she could do it so she did! At the end of the day she found it to be a great birthing experience, much easier and more enjoyable than birthing me. Her only regret was that she let the midwives, after hours of them almost forcing it on her, give her some pethidene. She and her Ob later agreed that she didn't need it, it was purely because the midwives felt she did. Apart from that, there were no complications or dramas, and he arrived at 39 weeks after 18 hours of labour, safe and sound
