Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the fetus is in a breech position, it means that its feet or bottom will emerge first during delivery, instead of the head. This can increase the risk of complications during delivery and can lead to a higher risk of respiratory problems for the baby. A cesarean section may be recommended to ensure the safe delivery of the baby. Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
