EBB 296 - Evidence on Breech Birth with Dr. Rebecca Dekker and Sara Ailshire, MA

Have you ever wondered why doctors almost always recommend a Cesarean for breech? Is that because breech vaginal birth is dangerous? Which methods can help a breech baby turn? On today's podcast, join us on a deep dive into the evidence on all things breech!

You'll walk away with confidence in your knowledge on the following topics:

  • Evidence on Breech Vaginal Birth vs. Breech Cesarean Birth – How a flawed study (the "Term Breech Trial") led to hospitals banning breech vaginal birth around the world, and what other research studies have found about the safety of breech vaginal birth.
  • Evidence on External Cephalic Version – Learn about the effectiveness, benefits, and risks of the "hands-to-belly" turning procedure, as well as a new, gentler method being piloted by a few obstetricians.
  • Evidence on Alternate Ways to Turn a Breech Baby – Uncover the evidence on popular ways that parents use to try and turn a breech baby, including moxibustion, chiropractic care, positioning, self-hypnosis, and more!

If you want to get informed and empowered on the topic of breech positioning in pregnancy—either for yourself or for your clients—then this podcast is for you!

Content note: Discussion of statistics on mortality and serious morbidity (illness/injury) related to breech birth.
