A breech birth occurs when a baby is positioned feet or buttocks first instead of head first in the womb during delivery. This position can make the delivery more challenging because the baby's head, which is the largest part, is not leading the way through the birth canal. Breech births can increase the risk of complications, such as umbilical cord problems or difficulty in delivering the baby’s head. In many cases, surgery is recommended to ensure a safer delivery, but sometimes doctors may try to turn the baby to a head-first position before delivery.
