What is the position of the baby in the 24th week of pregnancy?

By Silvia Azaña Gutiérrez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 06/21/2023

In the 24th week of pregnancy the baby still has a lot of freedom of movement inside the uterus, so it moves, turns and can change position several times.

It will not be until about 28-32 weeks that the baby adopts the so-called cephalic position, with the head facing the maternal pelvis and the birth canal. However, 3-4% of babies will be breech (breech position) by the end of pregnancy.
