The term "breech position" refers to a fetal position in which the baby is positioned to be born bottom-first instead of head-first. This occurs when the baby's buttocks or feet are closest to the birth canal. Breech presentations can happen in the later stages of pregnancy, typically after the 28th week, and can complicate the delivery process. There are different types of breech positions, including frank breech, where the baby's legs are straight up, and complete breech, where the legs are folded at the knees. Healthcare providers often monitor breech presentations closely, as they may require special delivery methods, such as a cesarean section.
