What can you tell me about the cause of breach birth?

Question

I have 3 kids, 1 son and 2 daughters. All 3 were born breech. (feet first or butt first). here's the kicker..... there are 2 separate Mothers. I have been told that perhaps the mother's Uterus was permanently tilted creating an imporoper angle for the baby to desend the birth canal, but when I reveal the part about there being 2 Mothers they are befuddled to say the least. That would be one heck of a coincidence I think, both Mothers with tilted uterus. Can anyone enlighten me as to the odds of that and tell me if there is an explainable reason for it. Did I perhaps cause it? Do you think rough or kinky sex could be a factor? Give me your thoughts and let me know if its common.

I know i spelled breach (or breech) 2 different ways but I'm not sure which is correct so rather than grab the dictionary I just gave each equal billing.

Answer 1

no it was nothing to do with you at all

Answer 2

Several things. Cords too short, certain birth defects both of which can be inherited traits. However, some doctors believe current furniture styles encourage poor placement by the fetus including breech position. There are a lot more children in breech position today than 20 years ago (when the deep couches came into popularity). The difference is, now they attempt to turn quite a few of them.

BTW, a tiled uterus is not rare, so it's possible you picked two women with overly tilted uterus (I have one, but no breech).

Answer 3

Some babies don't turn head first into the birth canal because they're too large, and some babies don't turn like they should just because they don't. There isn't necessarily a "cause." And you certainly didn't do anything to cause it, and neither did what you were doing during or while the baby was conceived. It's an act of nature, and not an ideal birth presentation, but it happens. Don't read too much into it.

Answer 4

A common cause of this type of birth is multiple previous pregnancies. That's because everything is all stretched out so the baby can lie sideways or with its feet pointing down.
