Are breech babies more likely to have problems?
Breech babies, who are positioned with their feet or buttocks down instead of head down before delivery, can face a higher risk of complications during childbirth. These may include difficulties in delivery, such as umbilical cord compression or injury to the baby, and an increased likelihood of cesarean delivery. However, many breech babies are delivered safely, and the risks can vary based on factors like the type of breech presentation and the method of delivery.
