Delivery for the nulliparous woman with a fetus in breech presentation is almost always a cesarean section. The greatest fetal risk in the vaginal delivery of breech presentation is that the head (largest part of the fetus) is the last to be delivered. The delivery of the rest of the baby must be quick so the infant can breathe. The physician may assist rotation of the head with forceps. A cesarean section birth may be required. Serious trauma to maternal or fetal tissues is likely if the vacuum extractor birth is difficult. Most breech births are difficult.
