I changed from an OB to a midwife with my last babe (much because of your comments as well as a few of your fellow bloggers) and cannot begin to explain how absolutely positive experience it all was. I do share it with anyone that will listen - labour and birth can be such rewarding experience in their raw state - without the influence of drugs and any interventions. I didn't go homebirth because of my fears but the study you mentioned has certainly changed my mind (also, given I only spent 3 hours in hospital when I had my son and never saw one employee from that hospital, just my midwives - why not stay home, would have saved the trip!) I am happy to hear of the breech issue (and the whole VBAC issue does make me shake in my boots - and don't even getting me going on elective c-sections). Keep going - you are reaching us! Ann PS - the homebirth study did make two major Cdn newspapers as well as one newscast. Jeanette

But it also provides me with a huge amount of love and light and hope...for my next children, perhaps, and for my Kaia and her children too. Didn't we know this in our hearts all along? That it is our babies that may indeed be choosing the "positioning" of their birth? Like Julianna, like Kaia, like so many others... Yes, I will be shouting this from rooftops and sharing it however I can. My hope is that this spares so many women the pain of making such a life changing decision admist manipulation and lies. And blessed be our midwives, whose gentle hands bless both the heads, and the bums (!) of our babies every day. Love,love, love...and thank you for sharing! Oh J,

The Breech Trials came out just before William flipped breech. I had a short time to dissect the heck out of the breech research and well of course I came to the conclusion that the data was flawed and went with my heart. Breech will always be a passion for me and I will be a provider who offers the option of vaginal breeches to my clients. Again, thanks for being the birth advocate that you are:) Sherry Thanks for bringing this to light. The Breech Trials came out just before William flipped breech.

I've learned so much and opened my mind so much about birth issues in the time that I have known you, and in turn I have shared what I now know with others. There are things I would have tried differently had I known there were other options. It's a shame that women aren't given the whole picture. We do what we know, and when we know better, we do better. So keep sharing... Be proud of yourself for what you do to spread birth information.
