Breech pregnancy may cause serious difficulties for both the mother and the baby.
- Increased chance of decreased oxygen supply through the umbilical cord, since it may be immediately cut off during delivery
- At birth, a child's bones are incredibly fragile and sensitive. Breech delivery may result in the baby's bones fracturing or weakening further.
- A lack of oxygen via the twisted or flattened umbilical cord may cause nerve or brain damage in the newborn.
- These are the most serious complications that can arise from breech pregnancies.
