About this document
Understanding Breech Presentation is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Breech presentation occurs when a baby is positioned bottom or feet first in the womb. It affects 3-4% of pregnancies at term. There are three types - frank breech where legs are extended, complete breech where legs are flexed, and footling breech where one or both feet are down low. Risks to the baby include complications during delivery like cord prolapse, injuries, and higher mortality. Risks to the mother include tears, lacerations, and complications of a caesarean section if needed for delivery. Carefu
