Breeched Flexed at 20 weeks

So I just reopened my report from the 20 weeks scan to look at baby’s measurements, and I saw that the position of the baby is listed as “Breeched Flexed”. Naturally I’m now freaking out, what does that mean? Is it too early to say how this will affect the birth?

Early scans yay or nay?

Mums who have had early losses do you find booking early scans helpful or anxiety provoking. I had a loss at 10 weeks previously and so now I’m unsure if I should have earlier scans.

Advice please!

Baby is currently at 4lbs 4oz, they couldn’t get all the measurements but from what they managed to get, one measurement has come on the bigger side (stomach).

I'm 7 weeks 6 days and I have an appointment booked for a screening at the end of April but that is the first and only appointment I've been given. Is this normal?

Has anyone had a growth scan around this time? They estimated baby to weigh 6lb 3oz already, they've said that's still okay but booked in another scan at 38/39weeks.
