Bonus Post! Breeches born vaginally

My husband was a breech baby and born vaginally. But once again, the incidence of caesareans rising (for breech births) has been related more to hospitals worrying about being sued than actual data. But the final analysis seems to be that in a healthy mom and baby, with certain criteria met, a vaginal delivery is still the way to go. Now let's hope that medical schools and teaching hospitals actually pay attention to this!
