Information on the breech position
The cases in which the baby is breech at the time of birth are not very frequent. Usually the baby is placed in its final position during the seventh month of pregnancy, an ultrasound is that the gynecologist supports the position later this month.
The presentation of the buttocks is defined when the baby’s buttocks are down, that is, who sits, positioned in the pelvis, lying on the cervix and legs crossed. Position is considered incomplete if the legs are straight with feet at the top of the uterus.
Maybe the baby did not turn the seven months because:
* Born premature and do not give time to turn around;
* If you extend the legs instead of folding them is likely to have more difficulty moving, then it will breech;
* If the amniotic fluid is not sufficient or conversely if too;
* If the uterus is too narrow or deformed;
* In case of twins.
In these cases where the baby is breech caesarean is advisable to make because it exerts pressure on the cervix that when it comes to head down because the bottom is soft.
If the breech position can not be complete birth natural childbirth if there is also the mother’s pelvis is wider and the baby is not too large, in these cases, delivery will be longer and will be needed epidural anesthesia.
