Video analysis project

We are gathering breech birth videos for a research project, looking at the events that happen during explusion (from rumping until the birth of the head). 

We will be analyizing the following: 

  • the timing of vaginal breech births, specifically how long each body part takes (legs, arms, and head)
  • cardinal movements of the breech baby as it navigates the maternal pelvis
  • the use and timing of maneuvers 

I would like to submit a video. What do I do? 

Step #1: Background information

Give us some background information on this birth by filling out this brief survey (all responses are confidential). Please write "unknown" if you do not have all of the information. 

Step #2: Send the video 

Submit your video via wetransfer.com or transfernow.net (free file-sharing services) to info@breechwithoutborders.org. This will allow you to share large files without losing quality or resolution. 

Step #3: Permission form (optional but recommended)

By submitting the video, you agree that you have permission to share the video for private BWB analysis. If the parents would like their video shared for either private educational purposes or for public educational uses, please complete the form below. You can either download and complete the PDF below and email to info@breechwithoutborders.org, or you can submit the release form online.
