I think you have to see a breech born this way to really understand why it is so much better. I saw a video at a study day and thought "yes, that's why we have to do all those manuoveres when women are on their backs. It's because they don't have the assistance of gravity." It was a real moment for me.

I'll go and see if there are any clips on YouTube.
