WA Specific Info on the options when baby is breech

Click here for the resource

Breech (bum down) position occurs in 3-4% of pregnancies at term. It is important to be aware of your birthing options if your baby is breech at term, as they change significantly to a baby in cephalic (head down) position. There are some different variations of breech position that will impact the decisions you make for the baby's birth as well.

Please Note: Since this resource was made, Fiona Stanley Hospital have began the process of doing vaginal breech births as well. This is still being established at this stage.
