Default Re: Breech Birth - the way we are taught

When I started on delivery suite, I asked my mentor why almost every breech presenting baby was born by caesarean section now rather than vaginally.

She said it came from a study that was done some years ago that said it was safer to deliver baby's that way, and that this study (or research?) was flawed. But as a result of this, most midwives have lost the skills to deliver a breech vaginally, I think that is very sad.

Sorry a bit of topic.
