Breech baby turning attempt trial for pregnant adults
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies a method to try to turn a breech baby (feet-first) from outside the belly using a specific “turning” approach. If you qualify, it may help increase the chance of having the baby in a safer position for birth.

This study looks at how mothers decide on the delivery method (vaginal or cesarean) when their baby is in a breech position (feet or bottom first) at full term. It aims to understand the reasons behind their decision by collecting their thoughts through a questionnaire.
This trial compares two ways to help turn a breech baby to a head-down position: one uses a light sleep medicine (propofol), the other uses numbing medicine in the spine (bupivacaine). The goal is to make the turning attempt more comfortable and successful.
This study tests whether ultrasound measurements can predict if doctors can successfully turn a breech baby from the outside (a procedure called external cephalic version). It may help women who want to avoid a C-section.
