breech presentation

  • Chances of a Second Breech Baby

    QUESTION

    Dear Midwife,
    My daughter was born at 41 weeks 1 day. She was frank breech and born at home vaginally. She was head down the day before and even at the initial labor checks (just checking from belly no ultrasound).I felt her moving way too much during labor so I and my midwife believe she flipped in labor. The entire pregnancy I measured way ahead for my due date like anywhere between 3-8 weeks ahead. but she was only 7lbs and 21".

    Usually a few weeks before birth, most babies will move into delivery position, with their head moving near the birth canal. If this does not happen, the baby's buttocks and/or feet, will be in place to be delivered first. This is called a breech presentation.
