How I did it: We trained for natural childbirth, but at 32 weeks the baby went into frank breech presentation.  We exhausted ourselves trying different techniques to get him to turn into proper head down position, but it wasn't meant to be.  We ended up with an emergency c-section at 00:05 on Easter Sunday (4/12/09).  Gabriel Orion was 4 lbs 14.6 oz and 18" long.  He had some complications and stayed in the NICU for 8 days. 

Lessons & tips: Know your options and preferences, but know that birth plans often go out the window due to circumstances.  And if you don't 'click' with your OB or Midwife, keep looking for the right one.
