Finding out that a baby is in a breech position can come as a surprise and leave women trying to interpret complex information in a short time frame. They will often hear differing opinions, which can mean making decisions feels difficult and perhaps, overwhelming. The book has been written to help women make the decisions that are right for them and their baby.

The AIMS Guide to Breech Birth is also a handbook for those working in any part of our maternity services, for birth workers and anyone else supporting parents whose baby is breech. For more details of the book please see the AIMS Shop
