Predicting success of turning a breech baby
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies a special ultrasound measurement called the 'breech progression angle' to see if it can predict whether a doctor can safely turn a breech baby into a head-down position using gentle pressure on the belly (external cephalic version).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether watching a short educational video before a procedure to turn a breech baby helps reduce anxiety. You may be eligible if you are between 36 and 38 weeks pregnant with a single baby and are about to have this turning procedure.
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 study uses ultrasound scans during labor to see if they can predict how your delivery will go. It may help doctors make better decisions and improve outcomes for you and your baby.
This study tests whether using a rebozo (a traditional scarf) and special movements during labor can help turn a baby who is facing up (posterior position) into a better position for birth. If successful, this might reduce the need for interventions and help you have a smoother delivery.
This study looks at using ultrasound to help predict whether a procedure to turn a breech baby to a head-down position (called external cephalic version) will be successful. The goal is to give mothers better information about their chances of avoiding a C-section.
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.
