Earlier this month, Montana had told her fans that she planned to give birth to her breech baby at home, despite being advised to have a C-section (pictured in November).
She stated that the reason her midwives do not recommend a home birth is because they have not been trained to deliver breech babies, and said her private midwife is confident that she will be able to give birth naturally, to despite being breech.
In a TikTok video, she said: “Obviously we’re approaching D-Day and she’s still breech and for me my mindset is a home birth and it’s very difficult to find people who support a home birth, especially in my country “. position of having a breech baby.
‘Which has been really difficult because if you talk to midwives who are a bit older and have had training, they feel quite confident about delivering breech babies because, from what I’ve heard, it’s just a different way of vaginal delivery.
‘Yes, there are risks, but as with any birth, there are certain things to pay attention to and certain positions that are best to ensure the baby is born in a safe environment.
“The hospital I am at, which has been very supportive and given me many different options, is very against me giving birth at home and also if she continues in the same positions as before, which is breech , I have been fully advised not to give birth vaginally and have been given the option to book an elliptical machine (caesarean section).
“But a lot of the midwives who have had more training and have a lot of experience with vaginal births aren’t worried about me giving birth at home, so yes, there are a lot of conflicts.”
She added: “Many hospital midwives have never had a vaginal breech birth, which obviously worries me.”
“But I can totally see that the hospital is cautious about giving birth vaginally and in the birthing center if there’s no time off without me, so we’re now diving into the private midwife route.
‘And I spoke to two amazing private midwives and they both feel very confident delivering breech babies.
“My partner and my mother think a little: ‘Can we go to the hospital? It seems safer” and my instincts and my heart are worried that I will be pigeonholed into making decisions on the day I try to stay really focused.
