Cina’s story – an upright breech birth in a hospital birth centre

My baby had been breech basically since 28 weeks. She was breech at 28 weeks for my midwife appointment, at 30 weeks I was told her head was up where my ribs were. I don’t know why but even though there was plenty of time for her to move I just knew she would remain there! At the 34 week scan she still was there too.

I was referred to the breech clinic at 35 weeks for confirmation of position and advice on how to turn baby. At 37+2 I had a failed ECV and baby was firmly engaged into my pelvis.

My waters broke at 6.30am with some twinges. I headed to hospital just to get checked etc. It was decided it would be best to keep me in due to breech/second baby and contractions had started at this point which I was more than happy to do. I had planned to have my VBB on the birth centre which luckily was honoured and not met with any disagreement. I stayed mobile and upright and contractions picked up quite a bit. Was 3 almost 4 cm by about 10.30am. At about 12 a foot presented itself. Contractions picked up and by 13.49 baby was born- about 5 mins between bum and head.

I am very happy about all the support I’ve received at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and am very pleased I was able to be on the birth centre which made me feel very comfortable.

A breech baby turned by positional exercises, moxibution and chiropractic care…

“If someone had walked into our apartment the night we got our news they may have questioned our sanity…positioned with my shoulders down on the ground and hips placed on the couch – Luke with a light shining between my legs > gently talking to an unborn human encouraging him to come towards his voice and/or the light…it was a sight to be seen (!?) but we were desperate and willing to try anything at this point!”

“We did it! The little guy and I worked as a team and he did what he needed to do. What a rollercoaster emotionally and physically those two days were.”
