Your body knows how to birth your breech baby 📣
These powerful moments capture the birth of baby Cleo ❤️
A planned home vaginal breech birth guided by intuition, skill, and deep trust 🌿
After discovering at 36 weeks that her baby was frank breech,
this thoughtful mama took her time, gathered information, and chose experienced breech providers who honoured her choice and physiology ✨
One of her midwives recounts:
“In most settings, she would have been told a cesarean was her only option. But by choosing trained and experienced breech providers, she safely welcomed her baby vaginally - avoiding major abdominal surgery, supporting a smoother recovery, and preserving her options for future births.”
At 41+1, she woke at 3:39 am with powerful contractions.
By 4:45 am, she was already 7–8 cm.
By 6:36 am, she was holding her daughter
Born into her father’s hands after a calm, instinctive, *3 hour labour*
“Her doula helped her to a more upright position, and she instinctively stood on the bed, allowing gravity to assist as baby’s legs and arms delivered quickly.
Dad (in the blue gloves) intuitively supported baby as the head flexed and the mouth became visible - no additional manoeuvres needed.”
No panic. No rush. No “emergency.”
Just physiology, trust, and reverence for the process ✨
Because breech is *a variation of normal.*
Your baby’s position is not pathology.
Your body is not malfunctioning.
You are capable of birthing your breech baby
vaginally, safely, and beautifully
with the support of skilled, respectful hands,
should you so desire them 🕊️
To the mothers exploring their options, remember:
🌸 You don’t *have to* have a caesarean
🌸 You don’t *have to* accept an ECV
🌸 You *do* have the right to choose a physiological, vaginal breech birth
You have the power to *choose* what’s right for you ❤️
