Spontaneous breech delivery - what does this mean

Spontaneous breech delivery occurs when a baby is born feet or buttocks first instead of head first. this can occur when the baby is in the breech position during labor, which is when the baby's buttocks or feet are in the lower part of the uterus instead of the head. this can be caused by a number of factors, such as the size of the baby, the position of the uterus, or the length of the umbilical cord.

What happens during the disease - spontaneous breech delivery

Spontaneous breech delivery occurs when a fetus presents in the breech position during labor, with the buttocks or feet entering the birth canal first. this is usually caused by an inadequate amount of amniotic fluid, which can cause the fetus to move freely and assume the breech position. abnormalities in the uterus, such as an abnormal shape or size, can also lead to breech presentations. in some cases, the placenta may be located in an abnormal position, such as in the lower part of the uterus, which can also lead to breech presentations.

Spontaneous breech delivery - Prevention

To prevent spontaneous breech delivery, pregnant women should receive regular prenatal care, including ultrasounds to monitor the baby's position in the uterus, and be aware of the risk factors associated with breech presentation, such as maternal age, multiple pregnancies, and a history of breech delivery. women should also maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to reduce the risk of spontaneous breech delivery.
