Breech Delivery, External Versions, and More

When I wrote and revised Expecting Better, I was aiming to be as comprehensive as possible in the topics I covered. In my ideal world, you’d be able to read that book and know everything you’d want to know about pregnancy and birth. In reality, a book that literally did that would be thousands of pages long. There just wasn’t enough space to delve deeply into some topics, like breech delivery. This is part of what I value most about this newsletter — the ability to do a deeper dive into these issues. . So here we go: breech babies. External versions, method of delivery, decision-making. It’s all here. Want more on pregnancy and parenting?
