Are rabbits typically born head first, like people, or is it natural for them to be born in what would be breech position for people?

I ask because a doe I bred had a stuck kit on Sunday, which I helped her remove, which was born hind feet first, and then yesterday had another stuck kit, which I also helped remove, which was also born hind feet first. Both kits were either dead due to being stuck, or dead because of trauma from me helping pull them out.
