Breech Birth

[Intro]
(Ohh)
I ain’t lying
Can’t hear me crying

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Coming out feet first
Hit the ground
With a burst
Sound not found
Till I head out
And, shout!

[Chorus]
I was bound
To hit the ground
Running (Running, running)
I’ve been found
Runnin’ ’round (Round n’ round)\

[Bridge]
Frankly, Frank
A breech
Complete
With feet
And, these feet
Were made for running
The rest for being cunning
Stunning?

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]

[Verse 2]
Presentation
Sum inversion
Head don’t know
To show (Oh, no)
Still gonna go (go, go)

[Chorus]
I was bound
To hit the ground
Running (Running, running)
I’ve been found
Runnin’ ’round (Round n’ round)\

[Bridge]
Frankly, Frank
A breech
Complete
With feet
And, these feet
Were made for running
The rest for being cunning
Stunning?

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Bass, Drums]

[Out4o]
Presentation
Sum inversion
Head don’t know
To show (Oh, no)
Still gonna go (go, go)

A SCIENCE NOTE
When a baby is born feet first, it is referred to as a “breech birth.” In a breech presentation, the baby’s buttocks or feet are positioned to be delivered first instead of the head. There are different types of breech presentations, including:

  1. Frank Breech: The baby’s buttocks are aimed at the birth canal with the legs sticking straight up in front of the body and the feet near the head.
  2. Complete Breech: The baby’s buttocks are pointing downward with the legs folded at the knees and the feet near the buttocks.
  3. Footling Breech: One or both of the baby’s feet are pointing downward and will come out first.

Complications Associated with Breech Birth

  1. Umbilical Cord Prolapse: The umbilical cord can slip into the birth canal ahead of the baby, which can cause cord compression and reduce blood flow and oxygen to the baby.
  2. Birth Trauma: The baby’s head, being the largest part of the body, is delivered last and can get stuck, leading to potential injury or trauma.
  3. Asphyxia: Difficulty in delivering the head quickly can lead to reduced oxygen supply to the baby, causing asphyxia.
  4. Hip Dysplasia: Breech births are associated with a higher risk of hip dysplasia, where the hip joint does not form properly.
  5. Cesarean Section (C-Section): Due to the risks associated with vaginal breech delivery, many breech presentations are delivered via C-section to minimize complications for both the mother and the baby.
