Do You Have a Breech Gene?

According to a British Medical Journal that came out earlier this week, those that have had breech babies, probably have a gene that passes it on. They actually studied 387,000 births to get their information and learned that mothers that had been born breech or their husbands that were born breech were twice as likely to give birth to a breech baby. Now, this doesn’t mean danger, but doctors that know can be more aware and make all precautions just in case.
Did you have a breech baby? Find out if you were a breech baby, this could be something your child needs to know for the future. If so, record it in a book for them so they know and can be aware of it later on. For myself, I was never born breech and all four of my children weren’t either. How about you or your children? I’d love to do a little survey here and see if it is accurate for Babylune readers.

I was not a breech baby.
But my mother and grand mother was.
With all the findings now a days i wouldn’t be supprised.
That’s really interesting. Zoe was born by c-section because she was breech. That was when I learned that I had been breech and the doctor turned me before I was born. We’ll see what happens with this next little one due in July.
