(* quick disclaimer * I am in no way saying that cesarean birth isn’t a good option for your family when you are faced with a breech baby. That decision is solely yours. I do feel it’s important that you are given any and all options like any other intervention to explore and discuss in order for you to make an informed & educated decision. You will never regret your decision when you had all the proper information to make it ) Find Teresa on IG @LOTUS.MOMMA
