Question

What does it mean when someone says their baby is BREECH?

Answer 1

Feet down, head up.

Answer 2

It means that instead of a baby coming out of the mother head first the baby is coming out feet first which most of the time not a good thing.

Answer 3

The baby is supposed to be "head down, head first" for a vaginal delivery. Breech means the baby is flipped around so the feet are down, feet are first. If the baby is breech the doctor may try to get the baby flipped into correct position or may opt for a c-section.
