  1. breech presentation

    Breech presentation is a birth condition where the baby is positioned to deliver with the buttocks or feet first instead of the head. This can complicate the birth process and potentially lead to harm for the mother and baby. Breech is less common than head-first (vertex) presentation, occurring in about 3-5% of full-term pregnancies.

U.S. National Library of Medicine
