lady partsl breech birth is almost nonexistent in the U.S. What specific info were you looking for, like if a mom presents actively delivering a breech? I don't know how many protocols are actually out there for that.

Right, either a physician will do it, or they won't. It's going to be highly individualized, and I'm doubtful that there would actually be a hospital protocol, other than "we don't do that."

I know we will often deliver a breech twin B as long as the baby A is vertex... that's the only kind of sort of policy I can think of when it comes to lady partsl breech.

Can you share your hospitals official policy on this- what is your protocol ?

Same for us. OP, our hospital has no actual policy for it. Everything is left up to the provider. Protocol is that when pt is complete they are moved to the OR for pushing and delivery in case a cesarean is needed for twin B. Other than that, it’s pretty much the same as any other delivery except it’s in the OR and there are 2 babies (and more staff).

:lol2:

Where's Davey Do? I would like to request an illustration of a hospital handbook with a subtitle that says "Breech lady partsl Delivery Protocol" and subsequent text that says, "We don't do that."
