Hi Cinders,

I was waiting for you to reply, 'cos I didn't want to jump in.

I found a link about breech delivery, with some useful diagrams here. It doesn't actually mention lövsett's, but you explained it beautifully.

It's actually a subject that annoys me, in the way that we are taught. They say "hands off the breech", but it is so far from a hands free delivery! I wish we were taught to be with the woman on all fours. From the photo's/videos that I've seen of breech births in this position, they really are "hands free". It seems like a far more natural way for the baby to be born, especially when it is in the breech position.

May be this is a topic that could be debated on another thread....!

Well done for getting through your Viva. I think it was quite unfair that you were given breech delivery. I've never had to deliver a breech baby, although I do know the theory. A topic like APH, PPH, PIH, twins is far more useful and relevant to our every day practice.
