It gave me chills as I read it--so powerful and affirming. I have not heard the term "spirit midwife" before Sullivan's essay, but it is such a lovely concept that I am going to make a point to learn more about it.

And, as you said, especially with the /right support/. I hope more of us with breech births will continue to tell our stories so we can balance out some of the negative press a vaginal breech birth gets. I'm so glad you had a wonderful birth experience, too :) Hi, Lynne–isn’t it AMAZING what our bodies were created to do? And, as you said, especially with the /right support/.

Doing the research, doing all the things to get the baby to turn, then letting go and trusting the natural birth process. It is amazing what we can do with the right support. It makes me sad when I hear women say that they wanted to have a natural breech birth and couldn't because there was nobody supporting their choice!
