Reviewing evidence and revisiting the option of caesarean sections in breech mothers by offering physiological breech as a choice of birth Kalavathi Mudili and Inderjeet Kaur, Fernandez Foundation Introduction: At Fernandez Foundation, the Breech clinic was introduced weekly in June 2019 after multidisciplinary breech training by Shawn Walker. Method: Retrospective data collection of 68 low risk mothers with breech presentation between 32-38 weeks attended breech clinic from June 2019 to March 2020. Results: Spinning baby exercises explained at the initial visit. 27 babies (45%) turned cephalic when checked for presentation between 36-37 weeks. 8 notes were misplaced, 33 mothers (55%) offered ECV. 14 (42%) mothers accepted ECV and 7(50%)were successful. Out of 19 (68%) mothers 5(26%) accepted the choice of a Vaginal Breech Birth and 3 (60%) mothers had physiological Breech Birth. There were no maternal or fetal morbidities in Vaginal Breech Births. Conclusion: The breech team and midwifery consultations offered mothers who were eligible, the choice of physiological breech birth. This will also impact on the caesarean section rates for breech presentation.
