Breech Delivery

Babies are normally delivered head first through the vagina.

Sometimes, instead of coming out head first, a baby will try to deliver with feet, legs or buttocks as the presenting part. This is called a breech delivery.

This 5 minute video demonstrates the maneuvers used to delivery a breech baby vaginally. The same basic maneuvers are also used for delivery of the breech baby during Cesarean section.
