Hi there
First think there is nothing to worry about right now.
Normally baby head is down so delivery occurs wen baby's head comes out first.
Breech means baby's buttocks is down. That is not a normal position. In breech chances of caesarean section increases.
But you have nearly 2 and half month left.
Baby continuously moves around.
So if it's breech at present, in next ultrasound it may become head.
So right now relax.

Breech means baby’s buttock is down
Normal presentation is cephalon ( head down )
It is normal,,, only thing with breech normal delivery very unlikely
But still time
Baby moves
And few days before delivery takes cephalic position
Take

All of my patients after taking this and with movement of baby changes the position
