Pregnancy, birth & baby care

Every year around 30,000 unborn babies in the UK are estimated to be in the breech position at the end of pregnancy. Mothers may be told that their baby is 'the wrong way round', and many will be offered and choose to have a caesarean as a result.

But breech birth poses many questions: - with so many babies adopting the position, is cephalic (head-down) presentation really the optimal position for birth for all babies?- Has our lifestyle increased our chances of a breech baby?- Are there medical or genetic factors which influence the position a baby is in at birth?- What can mothers do to try and encourage a baby to change position before birth?- And perhaps most important of all, should all mothers be encouraged to have a caesarean, or are there other options? Why Breech Birth Matters examines the evidence and women's experiences to explore some possible answers to these questions.
