I'm studying breech birth right now, and the various perspectives (both opinions and evidence-based research) that are out there.
Health A to Z presents a very negative perspective on breech, while
OBGYN.net presents a relatively balanced medical overview of breech protocol. I enjoyed reading
Breech Baby - What Are Your Choices? by the NHS Trust. When baby Haleh was in a breech position at around 24 weeks, and continued to flip back and forth for many weeks afterwards, I panicked a bit, but really enjoyed the information on
Spinning Babies. (She ended up staying vertex well ahead of her arrival!)
Here's a video of a
twin birth, with the second baby breech. I love the peaceful atmosphere and the mother's strength and calm. The three-way cuddle is wonderful!
And heres a
breech HBAC. I think she's fantastic for staying home even with a surprise breech!

I thought you'd enjoy reading this: http://www.homebirth.net.au/2008/03/breech-variation-of-normal.html her blog has some of the best info on breech I've ever read :)
You should look into the Webster Technique in Chiropractic. It helps to relieve uterine constraint, therefore allowing normal fetal position.
