My wife Brenda Capps has done 89 breech births and 16 sets of twins. My late great grandmother (May Capps) was midwife to over 3,000 women. Never lost a mother and when babies was large she would turn them breech for a more easy birth. She did those who was breech without turning them had short cords for 98% of the time. We hope to have all her birth records soon to share with everyone.

Studies show that planned cesarean for breech does not improve outcomes. The higher morbidity and mortality rates with breech have shown to be inherent in a baby who is prone to the breech position. That said, Webster chiropractic has a high success rate in turning breech babies who are breech due to positioning restriction, and not inherent conditions.

Mary Jackson, LM and the Santa Barbara Perinatal Psychology center works with people who have had birth trauma. They probably have resources on their websites.
Midwife G. replied:
Has she tried EFT? That has been helpful for many. Speaking LIFE over herself and having others do the same! Having her spend time in a positive attitude with thanksgiving being paramount. With every birth WE LEARN tremendously. I like to help them by sensitively having her talk about the trauma and infuse WORDS of life over her. I pray with them every time they come, if they are good with that, and if not, i always pray for them anyway. Create an optimistic atmosphere. WE ARE ALL ATMOSPHERE CHANGERS.

I wouldn't be able to recommend a book unless I'd heard her birth story, her life story, how her mother gave birth to her, and her birth wishes. Basically listening & caring and recommending a caring counselor or ICAN group or Mothers Group is what I see women needing. First human contact & face time, then books. Finding Ina May Gaskin's books helped me back in 1978 and they still help my doula clients today. Recently I read and liked Cut, Stapled & Mended. Also like Baby Catcher by Peggy Vincent and Arms Wide Open by Patricia Harman. These are not self help books; just novels about many types of people and types of births. Helps put things in perspective.
