It scared me at first, but I wasn't going to let that get in the way. Anyway, I have read that it is beneficial for a breech baby to be born in the water. When their feet hit the air, thay are likely to draw them in and cause further problems. When their feet hit warm water, they do not experience any shock and come out easily. I did not tear when I gave birth and I attribute that to both the water and to not pushing.
Relaxation is very important.
If you are concerned about your baby coming out feet first, research a water birth. Some hospitals allow them and I think most midwives would support one as well. Celeste I delivered a frank breech boy at 42 weeks gestation. Type in your ideas and suggestions on this topic. All rights reserved.
