It is not unusual for them to come back feet first. It is when they come butt first that is considered breech. Not sure what you mean by "pushing up". I would be concerned with injuring the ones still inside.

The first week it is important to weigh them a couple of times a day to make sure they re gaining. You can lose them so fast, waiting one day is too long.

As for the mother trying to move them, do you have the bed inside an xpen? My mothers never try to move them. I handle them daily so they get used to being handled. I weigh them daily for the first two weeks, longer if I have one that is lagging behind.
