A scan at 36 weeks could help spot tricky breech deliveries, when a baby's bottom or feet will emerge first.

More babies start out breech but will turn to the ideal"head-first" position by about 36 weeks' gestation.In more than half of these cases there had been no suspicion until the scan result

For the women who declined, or where it did not work, a planned caesarean section was arranged. None of the women opted to attempt a vaginal breech birth, which is possible but carries some risk. "If it was under £20 per patient then it would be cost-effective and if it could be done for under £13 then it should save the NHS money in the long run," he said.for a pregnancy ultrasound scan.

"Breech can be difficult to manage in labour if previously unsuspected, as labour can be quick," he said.

Interesting article....my daughter was born breech in 1990 with her feet up by her ears. I’ll never forget the ‘audience’ of trainee doctors et al at the end of the bed as it was quite rare to see one....although by that point I’d ceased caring 😂
