Breech - Another Variation of Normal
If you are here because you are pregnant with a baby who is in the breech position or you know someone who is, I have searched for lots of encouraging breech birth articles for you to read. I didn't find any of these articles when I was 37 weeks pregnant with our breech baby but I just knew that I wanted to birth my breech baby myself. However, I have met a number of women who wanted to at least try birth their breech babies but were told that they couldn't and that they needed to book a C-Section. If you are one of those people who doesn't want to book a C-Section and want to labour and birth your breech baby, you will hopefully find the following links helpful.
Also, I have included some of my favourite breech birth videos down the bottom of the page. Enjoy!

This next story is a beautiful and triumphant one! A VBAC breech birth after 2 previous C-Sections and the Mum has a bicornuate uterus too! :-)This is a picture of a bicornuate uterus in case you are unsure of what it is...
A bicornuate uterus, commonly referred to as a "heart-shaped" uterus, is where two "horns" form at the upper part of the uterus.

A bicornuate uterus looks like the shape of a heart!
