Breech baby in pregnancy
I am 30 weeks pregnant. In latest growth scan, I got to know that baby is in breech position. Does this mean baby is having some anomaly. Any specific tests needed to rule out after birth.

Not an anomaly. Most of the times it will turn to head down position. But sometimes it may stay as breech nearing the delivery date your doctor will decide the mode of delivery accordingly

No. It is all normal. The position of the baby is upside down but there is enough time for the baby to correct its position.

Breech does not mean anomaly
It is the position
At 30 weeks there is no specific test to rul out any abnormality
The level two ultrasound and the double marker test that are offered in the initial months of pregnancy would have already ruled out abnormality
