Summary

Do you know the specifics of having a breech baby? Or the percentage of deliveries where a baby is breech? (Spoiler alert, it’s probably lower than you think.)

On this episode of the All About Pregnancy & Birth podcast I tell you everything you need to know about breech babies:

the statistics about breech birth
risk factors for breech presentation
the different types of breech presentation
your options if your baby is breech
the controversy over how breech births are managed

As always, my goal is to inform you and arm you with knowledge and information during your pregnancy so that you and baby stay healthy, happy, and safe. This episode is no exception.
