Every Friday on the MamasteFit Podcast, we share a birth story from one of our followers! 

This is the collection of breech birth stories that we have had on the podcast!

The stories range from a scheduled c-section, ECV with a vaginal birth and ECVs with a labored c-section, and vaginal breech births!

Breech Birth Stories: Vaginal Breech

Breech is a variation of normal, but depending on your birth location or provider, you may find that your birth options are limited.

Listen to their stories to learn about your options and ways to advocate for your birth.

Plus, here is our podcast episode with Dr. Stu Fischbein of Birthing Instincts on breech birth and your options from a OBGYN’s perspective.

In this episode, we will chat with Dr. Stuart Fischbein of Birthing Instincts and Vaginal Rebirth about his experience transitioning from an obstetrician in a hospital setting to a private practice supporting home births. We will discuss how breech positioning should be treated as a variation of normal vaginal birth, but finding skilled and like-minded providers has become less and less common in the United States.

Breech Birth Stories: Vaginal Breech

In this episode, Raquel shares her home-birth after Cesarean (HBAC) with a planned vaginal breech birth, attended by Dr Stu of Birthing Instincts. Raquel shares her four birth stories. Her very first one was a scheduled C-section due to breech positioning when she was 19 years old. Her next baby was head down, but she also scheduled another C-section. Her third was another scheduled C-section due to breech positioning. Understanding that the likelihood of her having a breech baby was pretty high due to her uterine shape, she sought out a provider for her fourth pregnancy that would support having a vaginal birth. This leads her to a home-birth provider that enabled her to experience a successful vaginal breech birth at home.

Breech Birth Stories: Successful ECVs and Scheduled C-Sections

Join us as Annie shares her birth story! In today’s birth story, Annie will be sharing her story of how she planned for an unmedicated, vaginal birth at a midwife-run birth center, but ended up being transferred to a hospital and ultimately needing a C-section. In her third trimester, Annie found out her baby was breech, had a successful ECV, developed some complications towards the end of her pregnancy that required her to change her birthing location and plan, but thanks to a supportive and communicative team, she had a positive Cesarean birth experience!

Join us as Mackenzie shares her birth story! Mackenzie was planning a birth at a freestanding birth center, but found out that her baby was breech! The birth center could not support a breech vaginal birth, so Mackenzie transferred care to a local hospital in hopes that an ECV would flip baby head down. And it worked! Mackenzie transferred back to her birth center, but after her water broke without labor progressing, she found herself back at the hospital to have her unmedicated vaginal birth!

In this episode, Jordan shares her birth story of her first baby! Jordan discovered her baby was breech during the third trimester, after planning an unmedicated hospital birth. She did ALL the things, but baby did not flip headdown, so opted to try for ECV! The ECV was successful and she went into spontaneous labor! After laboring for several hours, stalling at 8cm, she decided to meet her baby with a cesarean birth. Jordan reflects on her pregnancy and birth experience with us, and we are thankful for her taking the time to share her story with you all!
