Hello and welcome,
I understand your issue. Only having straight legs does not mean a cesarean section. It seems that the baby is upside down that is called a breech in medical terms. If this is the case then cesarean is indicated as this delivery is complicated.
As of now it is only 30 weeks so please recheck the baby's position again at 37 weeks. If it changes and the head goes down, you may have a normal delivery. if not then a cesarean may be needed.
In any case a normal delivery cannot be guaranteed in any case as emergency cesareans are needed in many women while attempting normal delivery. So please have faith in your doctor and follow his instructions.
Do not worry all my good wishes are with you.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
