Abstract

We report on two cases of prehospital initiated precipitated preterm deliveries with breech presentation, which were completed at the hospital. Case 1 involved a precipitated breech delivery in a multipara, and case 2 an unrecognizeddizygotic (diamniotic, dichorionic) twin pregnancy, with precipitated preterm breech delivery of the first twin, in a multipara.
