title: 3. Undiagnosed breech--part of midwifery practice.
abstract: This article discusses the background to undiagnosed breech and what a midwife can do to support a woman who is giving birth to a baby in an undiagnosed breech presentation. There is no evidence to support the use of emergency caesarean section when a breech is diagnosed in labour and it is a requirement of the Nursing and Midwifery Council rules and standards that registered midwives should have been taught, pre-registration, how to assist an undiagnosed breech presenting baby to be born.
