What term is used to describe a delivery where the baby presents feet or buttocks first?

The term "breech delivery" specifically refers to a situation in childbirth where the baby is positioned so that the feet or buttocks are closest to the birth canal, rather than the head. This positioning can create different complications and considerations for the delivery process, as a typical delivery usually occurs with the head presenting first. A breech presentation occurs in a small percentage of births and often requires special attention from healthcare providers, as it can influence the delivery method chosen, including the potential need for a cesarean section if vaginal delivery is deemed too risky.

In contrast, "transverse lie" refers to a situation when the baby is positioned horizontally across the uterus, which is also not an ideal position for delivery. "Vaginal delivery" describes the general method of giving birth through the birth canal regardless of the baby's position, and "C-section delivery" refers to a surgical method of delivery, which may be necessary in some breech cases but is not synonymous with the term describing the baby's presentation itself.
