Welcome to Breech for Pregnant Parents, an online course providing guidance, practical at-home steps, and resources for parents and support people.

Gail Tully's first catch as a midwife happened when the baby was faster than the midwife and Gail put her camera down and caught Faith Elizabeth. Studying the breech experts in 7 nations, the shift happened when attending her first breech class by Frank Louwen, OB. Gail shows you how to free a stuck breech with the Spinning Babies® understanding of the pelvic diameters to illuminate the brilliant insight of Frank Louwen's in resolving breech obstruction from the basis of midwifery wisdom of the late Mary Cronk. Welcome to Breech Basics, a unique perspective "resting on the shoulders of giants." In this course, Gail narrates her slides, discusses video clips, case studies and stories. Gail has resolved all the complications taught here except the posterior breech baby's head caught for which she shares another midwife's description.

From a midwife:

I just ordered the Breech Birth; Quick Guide! ...Thank you also for not only your quick reply but your grace for those questions. I have been getting snippets of information [about breech upright birth] along the way the last couple of years, including hearing about Dr. Louwen. ...I feel grateful for that and my original training, but knowing I'm missing some things or it's incomplete.

Praise for the Product:
