Is A Breech Presentation Of A Baby During Pregnancy A Concern?

My daughter is 30 weeks she had an ultrasound and the doctor said the baby moved to the breech position. Which he said at this point is not a concern. However he just acted strange when he was giving the ultrasound and asked her you don t smoke do you. She told him no and he just said ok I didn t think so just wanted to make sure. I just cant help but feel as if he seen a cause for concern.l may just be nervous but the baby always seems tangled in the cord in the ultrasound.

Hello,

I want to reassure you that breech presentation at 30 weeks is really not a concern. Only 3% of breech presentation at 30 weeks will continue till the end. Many babies get turned and become a normal head presentation. So as of now, there is really no need to worry about. Any which way breech presentation of the baby can be managed very safely. As your daughter is not smoking so the effects of smoking on the baby shouldn't be worried about.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Tejashree Bhor
