Active Breech Birth: The Point of Least Resistance

Abstract:

In March 2006 I attended the first international Breech Birth Conference in Vancouver, Canada, which gathered together midwives, medical practitioners and researchers to discuss such issues as research, safety and techniques used during vaginal breech birth. Presenters came from eight different countries - Canada, Germany, Norway, Belgium, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand. It was a valuable time of exchanging ideas and heartening to meet other supporters of vaginal breech birth equally committed to growing and maintaining the skills necessary to support women during the experience. The multi-disciplinary programme meant accessibility to different approaches as well as an international flavour.
