Mother's choice on delivery method for breech babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 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).
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 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 compares two types of epidurals—one that lets you move around more (ambulatory) and a standard one—to see which makes mothers more satisfied during labor and after delivery. It aims to help women choose the pain relief that best fits their experience.
This study tests a mobility system to see if it helps first-time moms with low-risk pregnancies during labor. If you are pregnant with your first baby, have a single baby in head-down position, and are due after 37 weeks, you may be able to join.
This study is developing a new questionnaire to better measure pain after cesarean section. If you had a planned or unplanned cesarean with spinal or epidural anesthesia in the last 2-3 days and speak German or Swiss German, you may help improve how pain is assessed for future mothers.
