...and on studies that were flawed in other ways
as well (though some studies show that vaginal breech birth
is quite sensible in some situations). Nevertheless, with
so few practitioners trained to do vaginal breech births
safely, it often becomes a moot point :-(

Moreover, it sounds like Amy's baby is a full footling breech, which is a
type of breech that even practitioners skilled and experienced in delivering
breech babies are seldom willing to tackle.

All opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of my Internet Service Provider, its
other subscribers or lackeys. Anyone who says otherwise is itchin' for a
fight. -- with apologies to Michael Feldman
