Not the OP, but where I am very few doctors will deliver breech
babies vaginally. My OB was, in fact, the only one who would in
town, and he would not do mine because I did not have a "proven
pelvis." (Think it's pretty proven at this point, LOL.)


Yes...but they usually 'simply' do a cesarean...not an emergency
cesarean. I was wondering if there was a complication (such a
prolapsed cord - more common with breech babies) that necessitated an
EMERGENCY cesarean...??


Perhaps she meant unscheduled cesearean, rather than emergency? I know most
people probably use those two terms interchangably, although technically
speaking it's not correct. I think that to most women, when they've been
laboring and dilating for hours and hours and hours, and then mid-process
the vaginal birth gets converted to a cesearean birth, most women would
label that an emergency c-section.

But I'm guessing you know that... : )
