Breech Position and Breech Birth - Symptoms
Breech presentation does not necessarily feel unusual to the mother. You are most likely to learn of a breech fetus during a routine prenatal visit or during labor and delivery.
Before 36 weeks of pregnancy, you are unlikely to notice your fetus moving freely between head-down and head-up positions. Even after 36 weeks, you may not know if your fetus is breech unless you feel:
- Your fetus's relatively hard head high up in your abdomen.
- More movement low in the abdomen.
