Fluid injection before second Baby-Turn attempt shows promise
NCT ID NCT00465712
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether injecting fluid around the baby (amnioinfusion) before a second attempt to turn a breech baby head-down makes the turning more successful. It included 119 pregnant women with a single baby in breech position at full term whose first turning attempt failed. The study was stopped early, and the main goal was to see how many babies were head-down at birth.
