How do i know if my unborn is in a breech position or not?

OB or US: Most experienced ob's can determine fetal position just by feeling where the butt and "small parts' are when they palpate your abdomen. Just as easy and more reliable, is a quick ultrasound to see what is where.

Ultrasound is best!: Breech is when the baby's head isn't pointing down to the cvx/vagina. Frank/footling meanthe baby's feet are either tucked up to its head/dangling down to the vagina. Many reasons why; sometimes baby's size, shape of uterus, rarely it's babies w/ a neuro disorder. >50% switch to cephalic at 32wks, and it even happens at 38wks. OBGYNs can perform a version to flip baby at term, but DON'T TRY @ HOME
