Frank Breech???

I'm 32 wks had an ultra sound yesterday & they said the baby is in a Frank breech position. Has anyone had experience with this type of breech? Of course I read all the junk online & 1 thing I read is the baby can have hip issues & the baby will try to stay in the Frank breech position for a few wks after birth. It's freaking me out a little. I'm calling my dr, but I just wanted to know if someone has any tips, advice or experience.

My baby is lying sideways, my midwife isn't at all concerned, but did say that because this is my 4th there is lots of room for baby to move around. You've still time yet :)

I was a frank breech baby, Mom says my  legs kept popping up to my face after I was born.  She said that labor wasn't much different than with my sisters, but I was a little baby only 5 lbs 15oz.

My sister was born frank breech. Bum first!  (This was in the 80's) Apparently very painful! She was bent in half sort of for a few weeks after birth but other than that she is totally fine.  At 32 weeks i think there is still some time for baby get in position.

My 20 week ultrasound my baby was head down with her feet  touching her forehead.  They will check her position when its time to do the strep B swab

It's when the baby is folded inhalf. Feet are I front of face. So the baby is butt down. A traditional breech the babies legs are below, so the baby is feet 1st. A baby in correct position for birth is head down/1st.
