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. -- Be well, Barbara Mom to Sin (Vernon, 2), Misery (Aurora, 4), and the Rising Son (Julian, 6) Aurora (in the bathroom with her dad)--"It looks like an elephant, Daddy."
