Acknowledgments A big thank you to the following folks who made this dissertation possible: Jeffrey Roth who convinced ACHA to let me use their Medicaid data then linked it with the birth registry data. David Darr who persuaded the Florida DOH to let me use the birth registry data for free. Shane Troutman who figured out the reason no computer on campus would run my program was because they weren‟t powerful enough. He also rescued my hard drive and my dissertation after I destroyed my laptop by spilling coffee on it. David at the SAS Institute who patiently answered all my questions about programming code for logistic regression. Peter who was a thoughtful listener to my early conjectures about the influence of relationships on fetal position. My mom and dad who funded this dissertation and believed in me even when it seemed like I was doing something very strange. Sandy & Cheryl who always knew I would finish even when I thought I couldn‟t. My kitty Elsie who sat by me (or on my papers) through it all.

    The Internet Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics ISPUB.COM Volume 6 Number 1 Role Of Internal Podalic Version In Developing Countries A Mahendru, O Ogueh, K Gajjar, C Rawat Citation A Mahendru, O Ogueh, K Gajjar, C Rawat. Role Of Internal Podalic Version In Developing Countries. The Internet Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics. 2005 Volume 6 Number 1. Abstract Objective: To study the role of internal podalic version in the management of undiagnosed transverse lie in labour in developing countries and its place in the management of 2nd twin. Materials and methods: This is a retrospective case series study of 41 cases of internal podalic version from January 1997 to August 2002. The data was collected from the labour ward register and was analysed. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome was analysis of the indications of internal podalic version in developing countries. The secondary outcome was to assess the success and outcome of version and the factors affecting the success of this almost lost art by analysing these cases. Results: There were 41 (15.8%) cases of internal podalic version out of 261 cases of transverse lie. All these cases were undiagnosed transverse lie with intrauterine fetal death in labour. None of these cases had any form of antenatal care. Half of the cases were more than 37 weeks gestation. 31 (76%) cases were with >7cm cervical dilatation. Version resulted into minor complications like 5 cases of cervical tears, 7 cases of para- urethral and vaginal tears. No case of rupture uterus or obstetric shock was reported. There were 2 cases of failure of version one of which was followed by LSCS and the other by vaginal birth following reductive surgery.

  • Turning Your Breech Baby to a Head-Down Position (External Cephalic Version)
    Turning your breech baby to a head-down position (External Cephalic Version) This leaflet explains more about External Cephalic Version (ECV), including the benefits and risks. It will also describe any alternatives and what you can expect when you come to hospital. If you have any further questions, please speak to a doctor or midwife caring for you. What is a breech position? A breech position means that your baby is lying with its feet or bottom in your pelvis rather than in a head first position. This is common throughout most of pregnancy, but we expect that most babies will turn to lie head first by the end of pregnancy. If your baby is breech at 36 weeks of pregnancy it is unlikely that it will turn into a head down position on its own. Three in every 100 babies will still be in a breech position by 36 weeks. A breech baby may be lying in one of the following positions: Extended or frank Flexed breech – the Footling breech – the breech – the baby is baby is bottom first, with baby’s foot or feet are bottom first, with the thighs the thighs against the below the bottom. against the chest and feet chest and the knees bent. up by the ears. Most breech babies are in this position. Pictures reproduced with permission from ‘A breech baby at the end of pregnancy’ published by The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, 2008. 1 of 5 What causes breech? Breech is more common in women who are expecting twins, or in women who have a differently-shaped womb (uterus).

  • Chapter 12 Vaginal Breech Delivery
    FOURTH EDITION OF THE ALARM INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM CHAPTER 12 VAGINAL BREECH DELIVERY Learning Objectives By the end of this chapter, the participant will: 1. List the selection criteria for an anticipated vaginal breech delivery. 2. Recall the appropriate steps and techniques for vaginal breech delivery. 3. Summarize the indications for and describe the procedure of external cephalic version (ECV). Definition When the buttocks or feet of the fetus enter the maternal pelvis before the head, the presentation is termed a breech presentation. Incidence Breech presentation affects 3% to 4% of all pregnant women reaching term; the earlier the gestation the higher the percentage of breech fetuses. Types of Breech Presentations Figure 1 - Frank breech Figure 2 - Complete breech Figure 3 - Footling breech In the frank breech, the legs may be extended against the trunk and the feet lying against the face. When the feet are alongside the buttocks in front of the abdomen, this is referred to as a complete breech. In the footling breech, one or both feet or knees may be prolapsed into the maternal vagina. Significance Breech presentation is associated with an increased frequency of perinatal mortality and morbidity due to prematurity, congenital anomalies (which occur in 6% of all breech presentations), and birth trauma and/or asphyxia. Vaginal Breech Delivery Chapter 12 – Page 1 FOURTH EDITION OF THE ALARM INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM External Cephalic Version External cephalic version (ECV) is a procedure in which a fetus is turned in utero by manipulation of the maternal abdomen from a non-cephalic to cephalic presentation. Diagnosis of non-vertex presentation Performing Leopold’s manoeuvres during each third trimester prenatal visit should enable the health care provider to make diagnosis in the majority of cases.

  • Vaginal Breech Birth Mary Olusile Lecturer in Practice
    1 Vaginal Breech birth Mary Olusile Lecturer in Practice Breech: is where the fetal buttocks is the presenting part. Occurs in 15% of pregnancies at 28wks reducing to 3-4% at term Usually associated with: Uterine & pelvic anomalies - bicornuate uterus, lax uterus, fibroids and cysts Fetal anomalies - anencephaly, hydrocephaly, multiple gestation, oligohydraminous and polyhydraminous Cornually placed placenta (probably the commonest cause). Diagnosis: by abdominal examination or vaginal examination and confirmed by ultrasound scan Vaginal Breech VS. Caesarean Section Trial by Hannah et al (2001) found CS to produce better outcomes than vaginal breech but does acknowledge that may be due to lost skills of operators Therefore recommended mode of delivery is CS Limitations of trial by Hannah et al have since been highlighted questioning results and conclusion (Kotaska 2004) Now some advocates for vaginal breech birth when selection is based on clear prelabour and intrapartum criteria (Alarab et al 2004) Breech birth is u sually not an option except at clients choice Important considerations are size of fetus, presentation, attitude, size of maternal pelvis and parity of the woman NICE recommendation: External cephalic version (ECV) to be considered and offered if appropriate Produced by CETL 2007 2 Vaginal Breech birth Anterior posterior diameter of the pelvic brim is 11 cm Oblique diameter of the pelvic brim is 12 cm Transverse diameter of the pelvic brim is 13 cm Anterior posterior diameter of the outlet is 13 cm Produced by CETL 2007 3

The most obvious body system to undergo change is the reproductive system, but all of the others will change as well. Brief summaries of the physiologic changes that occur during pregnancy have been listed by system. Most of these physiologic changes will resolve during the postpartum period.
