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 study tests whether letting women choose how their labour is induced improves their childbirth experience. It compares different ripening techniques, so you may have a say in which one is used.
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 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.
