162. Empowered Breech Birth w/ Dr. Elliot Berlin

I’m excited to have the wonderful doula and chiropractor @doctorberlin on the podcast this week to talk about the highly niche and very interesting topic of breech birth.

Dr. Elliot Berlin has taken a real interest in breech birth and is working hard to preserve breech birth in an industry that is slowly phasing out any other option than a C-section birth for breech babies.

We discuss:

📍Why babies present in the breech position

📍Factors we can modify to help a baby turn head down

📍Pelvic stretches, anatomy and tension that could contribute to baby positions

📍ECV procedures - the pros and cons

📍Birth options for women with breech babies

📍The flaws in the research that turned many practitioners away from vaginal breech birth

📍Dr. Berlin’s breech vaginal birth documentary

Enjoy this episode and as always let me know what you think over @physiolaura!
