This lecture documents a physiological approach to vaginal breech birth: upright birth with mother and baby actively participating in the process. This biodynamic method combines gravity, maternal movement, and a baby assisting in its own birth to create optimal conditions for a successful vaginal breech birth.
A discussion of the key principles of physiologic birth; resent studies documenting how upright breech birth leads to shorter labors, fewer birth injuries, fewer maternal injuries, and fewer maneuvers compared to supine breech birth; and 10 steps of physiological birth.
I will demonstrate how what we see on the outside tells us what’s happening on the inside.
Learning Objectives:
Objective 2: Summarize the benefits of breech birth in an upright position, compared to supine
Objective 2: List the 10 mechanisms of spontaneous upright breech birth
