Breech birth making a comeback: is it safe?

The breech birth, in which a baby is born with the buttocks first, was long unwanted in modern obstetrics. However, according to recent research by HBVL, the method is becoming more common again.

According to the source, there are various reasons for this trend, such as a growing interest in natural delivery methods. HBVL points out that the safety of breech birth is still a concern, especially because the risk of complications is higher than with a head-first birth.

The midwifery practice remains cautious. HBVL reports that more research is needed to better map out the risks and benefits of breech birth.
