Madison Breech Conference
press release: The Madison Breech Conference will explore three themes relating to breech birth: autonomy, biodiversity, and sustainability.
1. How can women be the key decision-makers in their births, even if--especially if--their babies are breech?
2. How can we support biodiversity in breech birth (diversity of birth positions, settings, & provider types), rather than a monoculture?
3. And finally, how can we make breech birth sustainable on an institutional and regulatory level?
This conference was designed to address barriers that hospital providers and administrators face in supporting vaginal breech birth. We will discuss obstacles to providing breech and propose solutions in which vaginal breech is not just barely tolerated, but vigorously supported as a valid option.
This conference includes hands-on training with obstetric simulators, using the most up-to-date research and techniques in physiological breech birth.

Nov 9-10: main conference
Nov 11: additional hands-on training (optional; limited number of spaces)
