My husband and I are expecting our first child soon and at 37 weeks found out the baby was breeched. This discovery quickly led to two different Obstetricians telling me that I needed to schedule a caesarean. Knowing that there are numerous other options, I found this very bias and frustrating. Shortly after, we transferred to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and were put in touch with their breech team. Our baby was successfully flipped during an ECV one week later. I completely understand that St. Mary’s may not be equipped to handle this but then state that and make a referral. Jumping straight to major surgery is not in the best interest of the baby or the mother. Very disappointing level of care.
