Abstract

Objective. To evaluate maternal health outcomes two years after term breech delivery.

Design. This was a non-randomized single-center prospective cohort study. Mothers were asked to fill out questionnaires at two years postpartum to judge their health in the previous three to six months. Outcomes of the planned cesarean section group were compared with outcomes of the planned vaginal delivery group, whether or not a vaginal birth was realized or an emergency cesarean section was performed.

Results. One hundred and eighty-three women completed a follow-up questionnaire at two years postpartum. Outcomes of the planned cesarean section group were compared with her partner were found between the two groups. Also, no differences were found in all investigated maternal health items, or in sexual activity and fertility.

Conclusion. Maternal health outcomes two years after term breech delivery were similar after planned cesarean section and planned vaginal delivery.
