Around 1 in 25 women will face decisions around how to give birth to their bottom first babies! But did you know the options are more than simply 'have a caesarean'? From helping your baby to turn head down, to physiological/vaginal breech birth, these little discussed alternatives are explained in this episode.

Joining me this week is Dr Shawn Walker, founder of The Breech Birth Network and Midwife Emma Spillane. Both heading up breech teams at large trusts, they bring some real expert insight into the topic of breech birth. The pair bring the perfect balance of the intellectual understanding of the risks and benefits of each choice, whilst providing a nurturing and women centred approach to the episode.

With a real focus on informed choice, you will feel equipped to open up conversations with your providers about your own birth experience if you find yourself needing to make decisions around breech birth.
