The prospective study was carried out in 86 mothers and their newborns born in breech presentation; 41 were delivered by cesarean section, 45 vaginally. The incidence of prepathologic and pathologic CTGs was rather high in both groups (34.14% and 24.34%) as well as the presence of meconium in the amniotic fluid (34.15% and 22.22%). The infants delivered by cesarean section have significantly (p < 0.05) higher pH levels (7.28 +/- 0.068) than those delivered vaginally (7.25 +/- 0.093). The acidosis incidence (pH +/- 7.20) is significantly (p < 0.01) lower in the first (9.76%) than in the second (26.66%) group. In the early neonatal period 24.35% of the children in the first group and 35.55% of the children in the second group developed a disease (p < 0.05). The difference in the morbidity rate can also be found in the fact that in the studied group no intracranial hemorrhage was diagnosed while in the control group it was found in 17.77% of the children. Manifest cerebral disfunction syndrome was detected in 2.44% of the children delivered by cesarean section and in 8.88% of the children delivered vaginally. One child (2.22%) delivered with manual help has died. The morbidity of the mothers was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in women who gave birth abdominally (17.68%) than in those who gave birth vaginally (8.88%).

D007226	Infant Mortality	Postnatal deaths from BIRTH to 365 days after birth in a given population. Postneonatal mortality represents deaths between 28 days and 365 days after birth (as defined by National Center for Health Statistics). Neonatal mortality represents deaths from birth to 27 days after birth.

D001946	Breech Presentation	A malpresentation of the FETUS at near term or during OBSTETRIC LABOR with the fetal cephalic pole in the fundus of the UTERUS. There are three types of breech: the complete breech with flexed hips and knees; the incomplete breech with one or both hips partially or fully extended; the frank breech with flexed hips and extended knees.

D001034	Apgar Score	A method, developed by Dr. Virginia Apgar, to evaluate a newborn's adjustment to extrauterine life. Five items - heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, reflex irritability, and color - are evaluated 60 seconds after birth and again five minutes later on a scale from 0-2, 0 being the lowest, 2 being normal. The five numbers are added for the Apgar score. A score of 0-3 represents severe distress, 4-7 indicates moderate distress, and a score of 7-10 predicts an absence of difficulty in adjusting to extrauterine life.	Score, Apgar
