Most breech babies are healthy, but studies show a slightly higher risk of certain conditions. The most well-known is developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), where the hip joint doesn’t form properly. That’s why doctors often recommend a hip ultrasound after birth for breech babies. In rare cases, breech position may be linked to underlying causes like uterine abnormalities or neurological issues, but in the vast majority of cases, breech is just a variation of normal, not a diagnosis. After delivery, your paediatrician will do the usual newborn checks and any follow-up needed.
