1.where to go
2.birth stories
3.discussions of breech delivery
4.extended resources (other sites that combine the three categories above)

a touching story by a midwife who was born breech, discussing her own birth and some of her clients' experiences.

bruno's breech homebirth

Here is my own breech story: my son was born on the 18th of August, 2009 at our apartment in Seattle, weighing in at 7.12 pounds, and 21 inches long. He was footling breech (coming out leg-first) and since we couldn't find a midwife in Washington State to care for us, we planned on driving to Portland to give birth. My labor was very efficient, so we never even made it out the door and had a beautiful surprise home birth. My husband and my mother helped me to catch the baby, and Jesica Dolin, our Portland midwife, was on the phone to give us support. Click here to read Bruno's birth story.
