some babies are born head first, and others are born bottom first. the baby turns, and when the doctors deliver him/her, he tells the mammy (thats screaming in pain) your baby is "breached".

Do babies be born feet first?

Not always. Usually they are born head first but sometimes babies can come out the other way which means they can be born butt first. This is called the breech position. When a baby is born this way it can cause problems. If a breeech baby is born naturaly the butt will come out first and if the baby is born this way the baby's head could get stuck. So for most breech babies they are planned to be born by cearsarean section (c section). So for most babies it is better to be born head first instead of butt first.

You have been told that your babys head is down and im 35.5 weeks what does this mean?

That means the baby's head is in the birth canal and probably getting ready to drop. There is nothing to worry about. If anything I is a good thing because when you go into labor it won't be so hard and long to push the baby out. Good luck with your new baby and congrats.
