Breech Presentation

Obstetrics/Gynecology

Breech presentation occurs in 3-4% of all deliveries. The rate of breech presentation decreases with advancing gestational age. Breech presentation occurs in 25% of births that occur before 28 weeks’ gestation, in 7% of births that occur at 32 weeks’, and in 1-3% of births that occur at term.

Cesarean Delivery

Obstetrics/Gynecology

Cesarean delivery is the delivery of a fetus through a surgical incision through the abdominal wall (laparotomy) and uterine wall (hysterotomy). In the United States, cesarean delivery has become the most common surgical procedure. By the early 1990s, almost 25% of all live births were from cesarean deliveries.

Common Pregnancy Complaints and Questions

Obstetrics/Gynecology

This wide-ranging article covers conception, pregnancy tests, prenatal care, nutrition, miscarriage, fetal abnormalities, physiological changes, exercise, labor and delivery, and much more.

Ectopic Pregnancy

Obstetrics/Gynecology

Ectopic pregnancy presents a major health problem for women of childbearing age. It is the result of a flaw in human reproductive physiology that allows the conceptus to implant and mature outside of the endometrial cavity, which ultimately ends in the demise of the fetus. Without timely diagnosis and treatment, ectopic pregnancy can become a life-threatening situation.
