What effect does a breech baby have on delivery?

• If your baby is born breech after 36 weeks of pregnancy, your birth plan will most certainly alter. Due to the dangers of harm, it is typically hazardous for a breech infant to be delivered vaginally. A scheduled C-section is usually the safest approach to delivering your baby. Some medical professionals may be OK with a vaginal breech delivery. Turning your baby to a head-down position while still within your uterus is a possibility in certain situations. Your child will then be born head first.
• Breech presentations may be successfully delivered vaginally if the following steps are taken:
• The baby should be breech and close to full term. Any other leg posture will not effectively widen the birth canal.
• The fetus's head should be flexed, with the baby's chin resting on his or her chest.
• The woman should have a "proven" pelvis, which means she has previously had a child the same size or larger than the expected weight of the breech fetus.
• The doctor, nurse, or midwife should have prior expertise attending breech deliveries.
• Labour that is spontaneous and properly progressing.
• The mother and fetus are both in good health.

The following are three kinds of vaginal breech deliveries:

• There is no traction or manipulation of the newborn during a spontaneous breech birth. This is more common in preterm births.
• The most frequent kind of vaginal breech birth is assisted breech delivery. The newborn is allowed to spontaneously deliver up to the umbilicus before techniques to aid in the delivery of the rest of the body, arms, and head are begun.
• Total breech extraction involves grasping the fetal feet and extracting the whole fetus. Total breech extraction should only be utilized if the second twin is not cephalic (In a twin pregnancy where the first twin is in cephalic or head the first presentation and the second twin does not assume the head down position).
