There is no guarantee for paid maternity leave. In my case, I used all of my sick leave and vacation leave before going on leave without pay after my son was born.

There is a treatment called moxibustion, where an herb is smoldered just over an acupuncture point. In the case of breech presentation, an acupuncturist can do moxibustion over the small toe to get the baby to turn. The practice is more common than you would think, and it has been the subject of clinical trials in the U.S., which have shown it to be effective. It's worth a try!
