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.

- You are 18 years or older

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 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 a simple technique called 'rebozo' (a gentle sifting motion with a cloth) can help turn a baby that is facing the wrong way during labor. It may reduce the need for a C-section or other interventions.
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.
