Breech Birth

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.

Advertising for clients to bring claims following vaginal breech birth (VBB) mishaps is easy to find, just check billboards, phone directories, TV, and online articles. Although distasteful, directing some attention to these advertisements is important for your practice. Breech deliveries are regaining support and acceptance in the obstetrical/midwifery community.
