Vaginal Breech Birth Training, Hospital Credentialing, and Informed Consent

Experienced support and availability for competent breech birth providers is a sticking point in many hospital review processes. Clearly, those who support breech delivery must convene a dedicated team who are willing to be available at all times. For medical-legal purposes, availability means that there are experienced OB’s, midwives, neonatal nurse-practitioners, neonatologists, and labor and delivery RN’s who are trained and experienced in vaginal breech delivery.
