THIS PETITION IS CLOSED. IT WAS DELIVERED TO THE SOGC ON JUNE 28, 2008. PLEASE GO TO breechbirth.ca FOR UPDATES AND FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING BREECH BIRTH AND ITS STATUS IN CANADA.
To: The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC)
Problem: Currently the vast majority of Obstetricians in Canada routinely recommend caesarean section as the only mode of delivery for breech babies, regardless of the circumstances or wishes of the birthing family. Vaginal breech birth is rarely permitted.
Our position:
We believe that the decision of how to deliver a breech baby should rest with the informed family.
The SOGC must make recommendations so that in addition to caesarean section, experienced Obstetricians and Midwives will be encouraged to conduct unbiased informed consent discussions, and to offer the choice of vaginal breech birth to families without fear of professional censure.
Respectfully,
Coalition for Breech Birth
One hundred people have now attached their names to this push for choice in birth. It is exhausting to keep explaining why this matters so much, but seeing these signatures helps me keep moving forward.

Every woman should have a choice in how her baby is born. Forced surgery isnt right.

We need more providers who know how to deliver breech babies safely so we dont have to just accept surgery.

My wife had to fight so hard for this. It shouldnt be such a battle to have a say in your own birth experience.

Doctors need to start listening to patients again instead of just pushing c-sections on everyone regardless of the situation.
