Doctors call for better screening in IVF pregnancies due to breech risk
Australian clinicians are recommending a 36-week assessment for fetal position in women who conceive via assisted reproductive technology after their study showed they have higher odds of breech presentation.
Women who conceived through IVF — with or without intracytoplasmic sperm injection — had a 20% greater risk of the fetus being in a breech presentation than those who conceived spontaneously, the Monash University-led team say.
