The baby still has time to turn around like it's supposed to. My son waited until about 2 days before delivery to turn. Believe me you'l feel it when the baby does turn itself around.

I wouldn't worry too much about it right now. I've had 3 ultrasounds so far and mine was laying a different way each time. First she was breech, then normal, then breech again. They told me if she hasn't turned head down by the 38th week, then we'll start to talk about a c-section. But even then, its not definite if one's needed bc she could turn at anytime before labor. The Dr can also turn the baby by pushing on your stomach, but its very uncomfortable and often painful. I wouldn't worry about it too much now. Just talk to your Dr about the options you have depending on the baby's position and what may be done in all possible cases. Hope this helps! Good Luck and Congrats!

This can happen it is perfered that by now the baby is at least facing the same way, but there is still tie to turn. You should get checked by week 38 though to make sure that the baby does not go breach. But if all else failes there is the c-section option. The docs can try to turn the baby before delivery by pushing on your tummy, but that is not comfortable. good luck and don't worrie until the time is right.

I'm only 19 weeks, but from watching tv shows and hearing from friends, it's definitely possible. Not to scare you, because babies can move back into position, but they can present breech (feet first) and I do know that sometimes the doctor will try to turn them.
Just be strong, as long as your baby is doing well now, this isn't anything that's a big deal. You may have some discomfort, but there are ways of getting the baby out and things turning out just fine.
Good luck!

I'd research positions and exercises to turn your baby. Mine pulled a stunt like that too, not dangerous, but it made my labor long. Definately ask your doctor or midwife for things you can do to help baby be in optimal position.

Very normal. My daughter did all kinds of crazy things in the last weeks of my pregnancy.
I was a high risk pregnant woman so I had an ultrasound weekly. the last one I had, they told me she was booty down and folded and that she would have to be delivered c-section. I went into labor and to everyones surprise...she had decided to come out head first. she had moved again. even in the very last week.
CONGRATS MOMMY!
