Breech birth makes a comeback, but is the method safe?

The breech birth, in which a baby is born with the buttocks first, was rare for years. Yet the method now seems to be making a comeback, reports HBVL. The reasons for this trend are diverse, ranging from personal preferences to medical recommendations.

According to experts, the safety of a breech birth depends on several factors, such as the health of mother and child and the availability of medical support. While some women consciously choose this method, doctors often advise a cesarean section in the case of a breech presentation to limit risks.

There is no question of a sudden mandatory application of the breech birth. However, more is reportedly being said about the pros and cons of the method. The discussion about safety and personal choice thus remains a current topic.
