Breech Baby C Section

You have a much much much higher risk very scientific i know of both short and long term infection when you have cesarean birth.

Breech baby c section. If a c section is planned it will usually be scheduled for no earlier than 39 weeks. So i just came from my 37 week appointment and baby boy is still breech and pretty big lol so they are scheduling me a c section. In normal pregnancies a baby usually turns head down to get into position in preparation for birth.

They didn t know my baby was breech. A vaginal breech delivery is more likely possible if. I m a little nervous and did not think that i would have one.

Even 24 hours into labour. Learning about the options for a breech baby. Horrific but i think it is better for the baby to start their own labour.

This is my birth story of the planned c section of my breech baby. Other reasons for a scheduled c section include if the baby is breech feet or bottom first instead of head down if the baby is very large or if the mom has a chronic condition such as heart disease diabetes high blood pressure or kidney disease any of which would make a vaginal delivery more dangerous. Can any moms share their story with c sections.

The biggest risk of a breech delivery is when the body delivers but the head stays entrapped within the cervix. However the vast majority of babies who remain breech arrive by c section. Cesarean or c section deliveries are usually performed to reduce the risks to the infant such as when the fetus is in a breech position rather than head first in the birth canal.

Although research shows that about 85 percent of breech babies are delivered by c section some doctors and midwives feel it s reasonable to attempt a vaginal delivery in some cases. One night four weeks before my due date i woke up because my baby was really moving around in my stomach i went for a check up just a few days later and it turned out that my baby had turned around completely and was now in a breech position. One doctor checked me and knew she was breech so performed a c section.
