Breech baby? 18th century? No midwife? PANIC!

A 21st-century obstetrician reacts to a breech birth scene in the series Outlander, set in the 18th century. The doctor says the scene is stressful to watch, given that a breech delivery without a midwife would have been very risky in that period. The video is a reaction from Mama Doctor Jones, shared with a clinical perspective on childbirth.

I, a 21st-century ObGyn, am VERY stressed by this birth in the show Outlander. #outlander #birth #birthstory
