Default Re: Breech Birth - the way we are taught

I read the research.

The reasearch is hugely flawed, and it is widely accepted in both midwifery and obstetric circles that that is the case. But it is still heavily applied to practice.

Why? If this was a piece of midwifery research with such huge gaps and fundamental flaws, it would never have been published, never mind being referred to on an almost daily basis with women with breech presenting babies on board, in obstetric clinics up and down the country.

I believe fear and control to be the answers to this question.
