The fetus in uterus during pregnancy with its size, position, posture and attitude directly before the end of pregancy affects the course of childbbirth. The breech position (praesentatio pelvina) means an irregular position in which the fetus's breech is located above the internal cervical opening, and not in the fundus of the uterus. The risk of vaginal birth in the breech position is that the breech is much softer compared to the head and is significantly smaller than the head of the fetus. In order to reduce the percentage of breech pregnancies completed by caesarean section, performing an external cephalic version has a great impact. External cephalic version of the fetus is a procedure in which the fetus is turned over the mother's abdomen by the manipulation or hand movements of the obstetrician from the position of the breech to the position of the head. External cephalic version of the fetus is usually performed as an elective procedure in pregnant women who are not in labor and are close to their due date in order to increase the chance of a vaginal birth. In this research, a successful attempt at external cephalic version in the Clinic for Women's Diseases and Childbirth of the Clinical Hospital Center in Zagreb in the five-year time period from 2018 to 2022 is presented. The aim of this research is to show that the position of the fetus after termination of pregnancy is not an absolute indication for terminating the pregnancy by caesarean section, but one should try to perform an external cephalic version of the fetus in order to increase the possibility of terminating the pregnancy vaginally. The data needed for this research were collected using a retrospective method of analysis from the available medical records. Through the collection of data in the first half of September 2023, data was obtained on all women in whom external cephalic version of the fetus was attempted in the period from 2018 to 2022. Information was taken on the weeks of pregnancy the pregnant women were in, which pregnancy it was, i.e. whether they gave birth earlier, where their placenta was located in the uterus, whether the external cephalic version of the fetus was successful, and way of childbirth after an external cephalic version.
