Is it possible for a babyto be in both “bad” positions at once? Would it mean an automatic c-section?
Yes and no. Most hospitals prefer or insist on delivering breech babies by C-section, but not everyone goes to the hospital. Also, every hospital has different policies. IANAD, YMMV, not valid in all states, etc.
Anecdotally, my son was, and he was an emergency C-section – but my wife’s water broke at 33 weeks, and there were other complicating factors pushing the scale towards a C-section, too. (This was in Ontario. I understand that practices can vary quite a bit.)
