Breech birth makes a comeback: why is this and is it safe?

The breech birth, a delivery method in which the baby is born feet first, seems to be experiencing a revival. According to HBVL, this method, which was rare for years, is being applied in more and more places again. How is it that this old-fashioned method is becoming popular again?

There are several reasons why the breech birth is making a comeback. For some, the method is seen as a more natural option for the mother and the baby. However, there are also doubts about the safety of this way of giving birth. HBVL emphasizes that it is important to carefully weigh the benefits and risks.

In the past, the breech birth was often avoided due to possible complications, such as the risk of an injured baby or a difficult delivery. Experts warn that it is not a standard method and that it may be a safer choice in certain situations than previously thought.

According to HBVL, the breech birth is mainly considered for women who prefer a natural birth and who are under good supervision. Nevertheless, it remains a topic of discussion among midwives and doctors.
