My girlfriend had all hers breech till she delivered. She had to have them at home unattended to avoid the unecessary cesection they tried to push on her. All the babies turned while she was in labor. One stuck a foot out, pulled it back in, then a hand out and pulled it back in and then came out head first. No birth injuries.

Just had a friend on line deliver a footling breech no problem at home.

It is possible, though not without risk. I just think there is more risk with a csection, so I'd go natural. Managed breeches are not good though. Hands off with gentle support, hands and knees or standing. Anyway you can also look up Vaginal birht after Csection. UBAC is unassisted, which is where most VBACs have ended up since the recent hostile birth climate.

You can joind yahoo UBAC group if you want encouraging birth stories after csection.

May Abba bless you with a quick healing.

Well congratulations!

Even though the birth didn't go as well as planned I'm glad you and baby are healthy. Did you have a boy or girl? Size?

Many women go on to have vaginal births after having C-sections. However I believe it depends on how they do the incision, as to whether or not this is posible.

The best way is to do some research and see what possibilities there are for you.

Don't beat yourself up. You can't change the past, just concentrate on getting well so you can enjoy your new baby!

:o)

Thanks for the replies and support. Ev you mentioned it depends on what type of incision they did? How many types of incisions are there?

The baby is a boy and he was 7lbs and 10 ounces 20 inches long. The doctor says he can't be spoiled and pick him up whenever he cries....i always felt that way with babies until this one. He seems to be spoiled already at a little over 2 weeks old.

He doesn't allow anyone else to hold him and he wants to nurse very frequently. I know I have plenty of milk cause I can hear him gulping a lot and coughing from too much coming in too fast. He also won't let me hold him long without nursing.

It's been a while since my last baby.....is this normal for a newborn to want only the mother and to want to nurse most of the time?

My sister had 8 children. Although she home schooled them, as she had planned, she went to the alopathic doctors for her births, and did not consider home birth.

Her 2nd or 3rd child was a C Section. Upon the next birth, the Dr. stuck his hand inside the newly vacated area to manually inspect the internal scar for tearing, which ne noted had not occured.

Please remember, that all those both here, and in alopathic medicine who tell you the future tell you an OPINION, not a FACT.

Your body is capable of better health, just to repond to your statement about your present condition, and is capable of safe home birthing.

I believe you are correct, there is a way to turn a child, consider the literally BILLIONS of births that have occured in natural circumstances, and you can rightly deduce that you cannot be the first to faced your set of circumstances. In fact, I think I can hypothesize safely that some woman in our liftime HAD to have had 2-3 C sections, and then a home birth or an emergency birth with no medical assistance.

I applaud you starting now to find the answers to your desired goal of another birth at home. You can do it. Please find yoru comfort level in the information you find.

anonalon,
Congrats on your health and the baby. Hope you are well. VBAC is definitely possible. I would encourage you to look into the Webster technique. This technique (developed in chiropractic) is not a method of turning breech babies.
What is it? chech out the website for more details: http://www.icpa4kids.org

Chiropractic and Pregnancy:
Greater Comfort and Safer Births

Jeanne Ohm, D.C.
How can chiropractic add comfort?


Chiropractic care in pregnancy is an essential ingredient to your prenatal care choices. A large percent of all pregnant women experience back discomfort/ pain during pregnancy. This is due to the rapid growth of the baby and an interference to your body’s normal structural adaptations to that growth.
Preexisting unnoticed imbalances in your spine and pelvis become overtaxed during these times. The added stresses lead to discomfort and difficulty while performing routine, daily activities. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the common discomforts experienced in pregnancy. Specific adjustments eliminate these stresses in your spine, restore balance to your pelvis and result in greater comfort and lifestyle improvements.
Comfort for your baby, too.


As your baby develops, your uterus enlarges to accommodate the rapid growth. So long as the pelvis is in a balanced state, the ligaments connected to the uterus maintain an equalized, supportive suspension for the uterus. If your pelvis is out of balance in any way, these ligaments become torqued and twisted, causing a condition known as constraint to your uterus. This constraint limits the space of the developing baby. Any compromised position for the baby throughout pregnancy will affect his or her optimal development. Conditions such as torticollis occur because a baby’s space was cramped in utero.

If the woman’s uterus is constrained as birth approaches, the baby is prevented from getting into the best possible position for birth. Even if the baby is in the desirable head down position, often times constraint to the uterus affects the baby’s head from moving into the ideal presentation for delivery. The head may be slightly tilted off to one side or even more traumatically, present in the posterior position. Any baby position even slightly off during birth will slow down labor, and add pain to both the mother and baby. Many women have been told that their babies were too big, or labor “just slowed down” when it was really the baby’s presentation interfering with the normal process and progression. Avoidable interventions are implemented turing a natural process into an operative one.
Doctors of Chiropractic work specifically with your pelvis throughout pregnancy restoring a state of balance and creating an environment for an easier, safer delivery.
Preparing for a Safer Birth


Dystocia is defined as difficult labor and is something every woman wants to avoid. In addition to the pain and exhaustion caused by long, difficult labors, dystocia leads to multiple, medical interventions which may be physically and emotionally traumatic to both you and your baby. Some of these interventions are the administering of pitocin, the use of epidurals, painful episiotomies, forceful pulling on the baby’s fragile spine, vacuum extraction, forceps and perhaps even c-sections. Each of these procedures carry a high risk of injury to you, your baby or both! However, all of these procedures used to hasten the delivery process can be avoided if delivery goes more smoothly to begin with.


When reviewing the obstetric texts, the reported reasons for dystocia are caused by pelvic imbalance and its resulting effects on your uterus and your baby’s position. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy restores balance to your pelvic muscles and ligaments and therefore leads to safer and easier deliveries for you and your baby. Additionally, the chiropractic adjustment removes interference to the nervous system allowing your uterus to function at its maximum potential. Published studies have indicated that chiropractic care does in fact reduce labor time.

We offer specific analysis and adjustments for your special needs in pregnancy. You and your baby’s continued safety and comfort is primary in our care. This pregnancy, offer yourself the best! Include the many benefits chiropractic offers in your prenatal care choices. Call for your individual consultation. Give you and your baby the opportunity for a more comfortable pregnancy and a safer, easier birth!

there is an acupunctural method to turn babies before birth, which is called MOXIBUSTION.I know very little about it, however, many people swear it works. You can do a google search. I think they lit a candle and burn some essences, while tickling mom's toe - ain't funny?

Thank you to everyone for all of your answers and input:)
