Demand for the option of vaginal breech birth continues to exist. This study examined the experiences of women who sought a vaginal breech birth via an online survey. Women were faced with negativity from both clinicians and social circles about the option of vaginal breech birth. Those who were unable to obtain information and support turned to social media and the internet. For women seeking vaginal breech birth, limited clinical support impedes access to balanced information and birth options.
