Is it normal for a 26-week fetus to be in a head-down position?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it normal for a 26-week fetus to be in a head-down position?

Doctor's answer:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Normal. Babies also move inside the womb. Sometimes, if their face is down, the ultrasound machine cannot get a good picture. Don't worry, and rest well during your pregnancy.
At 26 weeks: Average biparietal diameter (BPD) is 6.68 ± 0.61 cm. Average abdominal circumference (AC) is 21.62 ± 2.30 cm. Average femur length (FL) is 4.87 ± 0.41 cm. Normal fetal heart rate is between 120 and 160 beats per minute.
