There is no way to prevent a fetus from settling into the breech position at the end of pregnancy. A woman who has had one breech fetus is more likely than average to have another.
Footling breech-- A position of the fetus while in the uterus where the feet of the fetus are nearest the cervix and will be the first part of the fetus to exit the uterus, with the head of the fetus being the last part to exit the uterus.
If a fetus is in the breech position in the last weeks of pregnancy, there are three possible courses of action: Cesarean section, attempted version, or vaginal breech delivery.
this maneuver determines the lie of the fetus, whether it is a head presentation, or in the breech position.
A health care provider can often tell the position of the fetus by feeling it through the wall of the mother's abdomen. Another clue to the position is the location where the heartbeat is heard best. If the fetus's heartbeat is.
For reasons that are not fully understood, almost all unborn babies settle into a head down position. The fetus is upside down in the uterus, and the head will lead the way during the birth process. Unfortunately, some fetuses do not cooperate.
When a baby, (human, horse, cow,) is about to be delivered it normally appears head first in the birth canal. If the fetus is butt first that is referred to a s a breech presentation.
The risks of vaginal breech delivery can be avoided by delivering the baby through a surgical procedure (cesarean section, also known as c-section). For the past twenty years, cesarean section has been recommended when the fetus.

"Cephalic Version" is the process of turning the baby in utero so that a breech birth is prevented. External Cephalic version is a procedure wherein the fetus is manipulated externally to turn it. It has a success rate of between 40 and 70%. ECV should be delayed as long as possible, since most breech birthing positions will right themselves before birth, and ECV is usually best performed at term, as earlier attempts do not usually influence birthing position. Internal Cephalic version is a procedure where hands are placed inside the uterus through the vagina to attempt to turn the baby internally.
pelvimetry; Pelvimetry helps determine if the mother's pelvis will allow passage of the fetus through the birth canal. This is important during protracted labor or with breech presentation.
The possessive form of fetus is fetus' or fetus's
