Doctor's talk shapes breech birth decisions, new study finds
NCT ID NCT07314970
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how the way doctors talk about breech birth affects a mother's decision to have a vaginal delivery or a planned C-section. Researchers will survey 200 women who gave birth to a breech baby in 2024 at French university hospitals, along with their doctors. The goal is to understand if clearer, more balanced information helps mothers feel more satisfied with their care.
