In this episode of The Midwife Memos, I speak with Sarah — a midwife, lactation consultant and mum of four — about the vaginal breech birth of her third baby.

We explore:

• What a breech presentation is and why there are very few skilled birth attendees who will support vaginal breech birth 

• Options for turning a breech baby 

• What the evidence says about vaginal breech birth

• Navigating the system as a midwife and birthing woman 

• The power of advocacy & the right support team
