Natural Birth
Possibly found someone who will deliver breech!
I have been dreading having an external version because of the risk
factors, but no matter what I have tried this baby is not flipping. My
sister-in-law recommended a homebirth midwife to me who does breeches. I
talked to her, and she is pretty booked for November but said she is
willing to be my "Plan C". She gave me the name of a midwife who she
highly recommends (she said she is the most experienced with breech out
of any other midwives near me because she has so many Amish clients). I
called the recommended midwife and I am going to see her this
afternoon. She seemed incredibly open to taking me on as a client this
late in the game and I felt immediately comfortable with her on the
phone. I will probably still go for my consultation with the Dr. about
the ECV on monday just so I can properly weigh my options. I am just so
relieved to have options.

Re: Possibly found someone who will deliver breech!
Lucky you! We only have one DR who will deliver breech in our town, so that would throw out any homebirth plans. I have the impression my midwife is just not comfortable with it which is fair enough. I know there is plenty of time for my LO to move, but I do get frustrated with feeling his/her head everywhere BUT down.
My midwife also was uncomfortable with attending my breech birth at home, which was okay with me. I REALLY wanted a home birth but we ended up finding a doctor an hour and a half away that would deliver my son vaginally. I'm so thankful that I was able to experience giving birth and was not forced into a c-section. You are very lucky to have access to a midwife that is experienced in breech home deliveries!!
