Why would a fetus turn to footling breech?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Who knows: This can be a completely random event, or in some cases malformations of the uterus or fibroids distort the normal cavity and create abnormal lies.

Breech: A small percentage of fetus' r breech in the 3rd trimester. Presentation is based on fetal movement. Sometimes a baby is breech because the bony structure of the pelvis is contracted and never allows the fetal head to become engaged in the women's pelvis.
