The size of the mother's pelvis, the size of the baby, and the type of breech position the baby is in.
Breech babies (babies born feet or bottom first) were and still are (in some areas) delivered vaginally. There are risks to delivering a breech baby vaginally though and so a C Section is usually recommended.
Yes. Twins can be delivered vaginally and some have even been delivered non medicated. C-sections are only required if the babies are breech or if there is a problem with the babies not being able to stand the stress of being delivered or any other reason that a singleton would be delivered by c-section.
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. It's essential for healthcare providers to assess each case individually to determine the best course of action.
While breech babies are typically delivered via cesarean section for safety reasons, there are cases where a breech baby can be born vaginally, particularly if the baby is in a frank breech position (buttocks down with legs extended) and the mother has a favorable pelvis and no other complications. Skilled healthcare providers may attempt specific techniques, such as external cephalic version, to turn the baby before labor. However, the decision for vaginal delivery should always be made with careful consideration of the potential risks and benefits. Ultimately, the safety of both the mother and baby is the priority.
It is silly to imagine that your position at birth will set a pattern for your personality. It's not silly at all. The child of mine that was breech has a personality that is startlingly different from his siblings both for the positive and negative traits. Thank God, I delivered him by C-section and prevented further injury to his brain and personality. Abstract: Investigated the effects of breech delivery on the later cognitive and behavioral development of 25 breech delivery children born with cesarean section and 30 breech delivery children born vaginally with manual aid compared with 30 normally born children. All Ss were aged 6-14 yrs, were firstborn, and had no history of cerebral damage. The groups of children were matched with each other and were administered a battery of achievement tests. Ss' parents answered a behavioral questionnaire. Results, especially those from the Comprehension subtest of the German version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), indicate severe cognitive retardation in the breech delivery Ss, especially in those born vaginally with manual aid. Breech delivery children also showed some behavioral disorders. It is suggested that cesarean section should be preferred over vaginal birth in the case of a breech delivery. http://www.666ismoney.com/BreechBirth.html
When a baby is born both feet first or one foot first, this is called a footling breech.
Yes. I am living proof....my first daughter was breech and needed to be taken C-section..however my other 2 children were delivered vaginally....and the birth was normal and fine. I got pregnant 4 months after my c-section and delivered vaginally (VBAC). It is suggested you wait at least 1 year after a c-section but as we all know life does not always go according to plan!
When a baby, (human, horse, cow,) is about to be delivered it normally appears head first in the birth canal. If the fetus is butt first that is referred to a s a breech presentation.
It means that the baby is coming out feet first instead of head first. This is very dangerous as the baby is not getting enough oxygen, and results in turning the baby around or having a casearean section.
