A breech baby next door

Last night I discovered that my almost next door neighbour is expecting a baby in 3 weeks. I was surprised as I didn’t know she was pregnant, but we both work and I have been away a lot over the past 3 months, so there have been few opportunities to talk to anyone!

She told me that her baby is in a breech position. My heart sank, as I know that these days the likely outcome will be a scheduled caesarean section, but she said that she was booked in for an external cephalic version (ECV) next week and that she was hoping for a natural, drug free birth. My spirits lifted further when she said that her obstetrician had said he would offer her a vaginal birth is she “would sign some papers” - he is a man I have known for years and is familiar with home birth and supportive of its concepts.

My neighbour was just off to her pre-natal class with a local independent educator when we met outside my front door, so we didn’t have time to talk. She said that the baby seemed to be trying to turn itself, but “giving up” so she thought that the ECV might work. We have agreed to meet tonight and I will explain how moxibustion works and give her some sticks to use if she wants.

I was also delighted to discover that she already had copies of my books Preparing for birth: Mothers and Preparing for Birth: Fathers. She was amazed to find that the author lived almost next door! I will be following her progress with considerable interest now I know there is a baby coming soon, and it will be lovely to have a newborn nearby in just a few weeks.
