A breech birth occurs when a baby is born bottom first instead of head first. Around 3-5% of pregnant women at term (37â40 weeks pregnant) will have a breech baby. Most babies in the breech position are born by a caesarean section because it is seen as safer than being born vaginally. As most breech babies are delivered by caesarean section in developed countries, doctors and midwives may lose the skills required to safely assist women giving birth to a breech baby vaginally.
In primigravidas (1st time pregnant woman) the vaginal delivery of breech is difficult because the mothers birth canal has not been stretched by a previous delivery. In such cases, caesarean section gives the option of well-planned delivery, under controlled conditions.
