Description:Most babies move into the normal head-down position in the mother's uterus a few weeks before birth. But if this doesn't happen, the baby's buttocks, or buttocks and feet, will be in place to come out first during birth. This is called breech presentation, and it occurs in about 3 out of every 100 births. Availability information:Single copies of this publication may be ordered from NWHIC.
