Written By Lauretta .

The Midwife Memos with Lauretta Hamilton - Podcast

In this episode of Midwife Memos, I speak with Sarah — a midwife, lactation consultant and mum of four — about the vaginal breech birth of her third baby.

We explore:

  • What a breech presentation is and why there are very few skilled birth attendees who will support vaginal breech birth

  • Options for turning a breech baby (ECV, moxibustion, bodywork)

  • What the evidence says about vaginal breech birth

  • Navigating the system as a midwife and birthing woman

  • The power of advocacy & the right support team

  • Sarah’s powerful vaginal breech birth story

Sarah’s story is raw, honest and full of wisdom for anyone facing unexpected turns in pregnancy and birth.
