Fetal Presentation, Position, and Lie (Including Breech Presentation)
Toward the end of pregnancy, the fetus moves into position for delivery.

Variations in fetal presentations include face, brow, breech, and shoulder.
Breech Presentation
Breech Births. In the last weeks of pregnancy, a baby usually moves so his or her head is positioned to come out of the vagina first during birth. This is called a vertex presentation. A breech presentation occurs when the baby's buttocks, feet, or both are positioned to come out first during birth. This happens in 3-4% of full-term births.

As pregnancy continues, usually a baby turns into the head first position. Near the due date, only about three babies in every hundred are breech.
Breech presentation: diagnosis and management
