Episode 16: Breech Birth with Dr. Stu Fischbein

In this episode, we will chat with Dr. Stuart Fischbein of Birthing Instincts and Vaginal Rebirth about his experience transitioning from an obstetrician in a hospital setting to a private practice supporting home births. We will discuss how breech positioning should be treated as a variation of normal vaginal birth, but finding skilled and like-minded providers has become less and less common in the United States.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Dr. Stu shares his perspective as an OBGYN on why this decline has occurred
• Risks and benefits associated with both a vaginal and cesarean breech birth
• How certain medical studies can influence practices
• Questions and criteria to discuss with your provider regarding breech positioning
