The others either would not labor her or don't want to labor her without some assistance, presumably from me. I'm not sure why I have such heartburn about sectioning her. If it were her first or second pregnancy I'd do it without batting an eye. If she hadn't already delivered a breech I'd probably still not have any problem. In looking at studies like the Term Breech Trial and talking to one of my partners that enrolled pts during residency in that trial it doesn't look like prior breech delivery fell into anything studied. I would assume that women who had already done it once wouldn't want to be randomized and possibly get a section. I would bet that if her version fails tomorrow that we would send her off to the British system for an attempted vaginal breech delivery since few are comfortable here doing it. Its sad for me that we can pawn off our potential medicolegal problems on another system but it is the reality of our constructs. (we also send off VBACs) Glen D.

If she declines have her sign informed refusal. Then offer C/S again when she comes in labor and have her sign informed refusal if she declines again. If you're lucky, your call associates will be on when she comes in, then they can share the grief. Ronald E. Ainsworth -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of Elrod Darryl G MAJ 48 MDOS/SGOBO Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 3:00 AM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Breech 32 yo G4P3 at 36wks and breech. First delivery was delivered breech after failed version. Next deliveries were vaginal without complications. She doesn't want a c/s and if the version fails this time she wants to deliver vaginally. In light of ACOG's stance on vaginal breech deliveries, how would you handle this situation? I'm personally inclined to let her attempt a vaginal breech delivery. She obviously has a proven pelvis. She understands the risk associated with delivering breech. Thanks, Glen D.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
