Breech position is when the baby's head is facing up towards the chest, and the baby's bottom is facing down towards the mother's pelvis. Breech position is very dangerous for both mother and baby, can cause death to the fetus and increase the risk of complications for the mother.

Fetal position is an important factor in determining whether a mother will give birth naturally or by cesarean section, which is the baby's position relative to the mother's cervix. In the case of a head-first baby (favorable fetal position), the mother can give birth naturally.

Transverse fetal position is rare but is a complicated and dangerous case. Pregnant women with transverse fetal position will have difficulty giving birth and 100% of transverse fetal positions will be assigned a cesarean section because there is no mechanism to deliver transversely through the vagina.
