(regarding my birth of Angela)
Patricia, That MD should have known better than to put you in the "usual position."(!)
The "usual position" closes the birth canal up to 30% - which is very likely the reason Michel Odent, MD "would never risk a breech delivery with the mother in a dorsal or semi-seated position." --Michel Odent, MD quoted by Patricia Blomme
Your daughter very likely WAS injured. I mention this because FIRST you wrote that your daughter was NOT injured:
But then you wrote that she was "shocky" and they "wanted to take her to theresuscitation team." (!) http://www.birthlove.com/pages/stories/breech_of_faith.html (URL changed for simplicity) Babies who appear "shocky" and in need of resuscitation have indeed very likely been injured.
Remember... As MDs senselessly jam sacral tips up to 4 cm into pelvic outlets, some babies are being born with actual DENTS ('ping pong' depression fractures) in their skulls! Most of these "ping pong" skull fractures likely "pop" back out and only appear as "bumps"... Noemi Lee, PT (of London) saw a "bump" on her baby's head right after delivery. The MDs didn't know what caused it... Here is a web page with some of Noemi's thoughts regarding her second birth experience - as well as her generous thoughts about me... http://www.noemi.freeserve.co.uk/Open_Thoughts/thought7.html (link no loger functions-pb) According to John Ogden, MD, "The developing skull, especially in an infant, may be deformed substantially WITHOUT (italics in original) sustaining an OBVIOUS fracture when...compressed (p. 78)... [Elasticity of the skull]...allows significant temporary indentation of the skull toward the brain, with restoration of the contour after 'release' of the deforming force (p. 79).... [Ogden J. Skeletal Injury in the Child. Third Edition, NY: Springer 2000, obvious emphasis added] Dr. Ogden offers some good news... "Despite considerable depression of the bone, there may be little brain injury (p. 79)." Dr. Ogden offers some bad news... "[D]espite the seeming absence of specific osseous injury, severe injury to the brain may occur...(p. 79)" [Ogden J. Skeletal Injury in the Child. Third Edition, NY: Springer 2000] An estimated 4.6% of "healthy" term neonates have unexplained brain bleeds. Angela's "shocky" appearance was very likely the result of injury she sustained. Regardless, though, closing the birth canal up to 30% with the "usual position" is grisly negligence supported by the published lies of MD-obstetrician experts...

Patricia, I urge you to use your web site to expose the lies that buttress the bizarre MD practice of routinely closing birth canals up to 30%... Explicitly WARN people that in those photos (URL below), your birth canal was being senselessly closed up to 30%. There is a very good reason Michel Odent, MD "would never risk a breech delivery with the mother in a dorsal or semi-seated position." --Michel Odent, MD quoted by Patricia Blomme
You were right to wonder what it might have been like had you stayed upright... Sincerely, Todd Todd D. Gastaldo, DC
PS Photos... Photos of Patricia's birth canal being closed up to 30%... http://www.birthdiaries.com/diary/47vbirth.htm Photos of another birth canal being closed up to 30% as MD slashes vagina pretending to be doing everything to open the birth canal... http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/9786/breechvag1.html (link is a differnt url as site has been moved) (Thank you Todd for this very informative letter) To see a pelvis that is not being closed up during a breech birth, go here (follow the links to birthing pics)
