The interplay of body mass index, gestational weight gain, and birthweight over 3800 g in vaginal breech birth: A retrospective study.

Currently, rising prevalences of maternal obesity and impaired glucose tolerance challenge obstetric care. We aimed to investigate the effects of these parameters on the outcome of vaginal breech birth to improve counseling practices.
