“ Surprise breech baby” Welcome Arielle Rechner to Birthing on the Prairies! Arielle birthed her Breech baby in the heat of COVID at the Grey Nuns hospital in Edmonton Alberta with a midwife and OB. “ I delivered breech vaginally when most of the time you only hear breech babies being delivered by cesarean. It is possible to deliver a breech baby vaginally! My birth with my daughter was one for the books, the complete opposite of my birth with my son. It was extremely fast, empowering, scary, challenging and magical. The unexpected event of finding out she was breech came as a shock but my body did all the work and I am proud of “her” aka my body. And the mental game of being pregnant during a pandemic and delivering at the peak of the pandemic with so much uncertainty in society.” - arielleHuge thank you @amrit_rai3 from the Lucina Midwives & the Grey Nuns for supporting Arielle through this incredible birth!
