#11 Breech Presentation, External Cephalic Version & Planning a Breech Vaginal Birth with Kate Damon, CNM

In 2015, Kate Damon, CNM, a hospital-based midwife, was planning a vaginal delivery for her first child—but her daughter remained persistently breech despite multiple attempts to turn her, including two external cephalic versions.

Join us in Episode 11 as we talk with Certified Nurse Midwife Kate Damon about her personal and professional experiences with breech babies, turning babies, and planning a vaginal breech birth. In Episode 12, we continue the conversation to hear how Kate made her cesarean birth a positive and empowering experience—even though it wasn’t the birth she had originally hoped for—and how she now advocates for and facilitates “family-centered cesarean” experiences for patients in her midwifery practice.
