Eighty-nine women whose fetuses presented in breech position at term were managed using a team approach of the nurse-midwife and physician consultant. The routes of delivery for nulliparous and multiparous women are reviewed, as are fetal outcomes. It is proposed that this approach be considered as a viable management method for nurse-midwifery practice.
