SPECIAL EPISODE!!  No practice bulletin or committee opinion this time. Instead, I interviewed Rixa Freeze, PhD, founder of Breech Without Borders, and David Hayes, MD, during a lunch break at a breech workshop that they hosted near Pittsburgh in September, 2019.  I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE!   We'll cover: - the Term Breech Trial's flawed methodologies, and the worldwide consequences of its publication - literature review of MANY other studies in countries where vaginal breech birth remains the norm - contemporary data on the risks/benefits of vaginal breech birth (it's far more reassuring) - counseling patients who desire breech or who present with breech presentation unknowningly - the difference maker in the safety of breech: experience of the birth worker in delivering breech - (and thus) why we need to re-teach breech birth skills - Nathan gets starstruck ...and much more!   Shout-outs: - Rixa's personal website (Stand and Deliver) - Breech Without Borders - Find a breech workshop near you - Dr. Stu's podcast (w/ Stu Fischbein, MD, and Blyss Young, LM, CPM) - Indie Birth Podcast SHOW NOTES Theme music by my main amigo, Evan Handyside
