Delivery of Breech Baby How is a breech baby delivered A vaginal breech labour progresses
in the same manner as a normal labour until the second stage. It is considered
a trial labour and is allowed to proceed as long as it progresses normally.
In a breech birth, the buttocks are delivered first, then the legs. For
the head to be delivered, an epsiotomy would be needed, as this is the
largest part of the baby's body. At this point the doctor might use forceps
and give you an epidural in case he needs to perform an emergency caesarian
section.
Does breech baby necessarily mean a C-section No. If the baby is in the complete breech or footing breech (where on leg dangles down), or if the baby's head is extended upwards, then a vaginal delivery will not be attempted at all. The doctor would recommend a caesarian section straight away. To add your views on this article or read others comments Click Here
