i had my ultrasound at 28 weeks and baby was head down. i had one yesterday at 32 weeks and his head was at the top of my abd. he should be settling in the heads down position soon shouldnt he? when is it getting to late for him to turn. i know eventually they run out of room and cant turn.

There is still time to turn unless he is very big. You can help him turn by sitting in the knee-chest position (butt-up) 20-30 per day. The head down position is the most comfortable, and about 95% of babies usually assume it by the time they are born. Good Luck!!

There is still time... and the doc may try to manually encourage baby to move by manipulating mom's belly. This is uncomfortable but beats a c-section any day if it works.
When I was set to deliver my first son he too was heads up around 32-34 weeks or so.... my chiropractor/acupunture specialist that I was seeing told me that he could use pressure points on my feet to stimulate nerves that would encourage baby to move into birthing position. I'm not sure which of the methods was actually what made him turn or if it was just nature but he did finally turn and I was able to labor and attempt to deliver natural. We ended up having an emergency c-section for other reasons... anyways.. give the chiropractor method a shot.... can't hurt can it??

sometimes they can turn back head down at this stage. But at some point if your baby hasn't he will run out of room to. Your Dr should advise you on when to worry, they sometimes try and turn the baby. If not you'd better plan for a c-section
Congrats

My baby was the same, she did not want to turn. My midwife told me to get on all fours and put pillows under my chest and watch tv that way or take naps that way. I also walked around on all fours. It definitely helped. After a week of doing that, my midwife said the baby was the way she was supposed to be :o) Try it out!

i've also heard that if you put something cold where the head is they will turn away from it and move down. check with your doctor before doing it though.
