I know I still have time, but have read that the bigger the baby gets the more difficult it is for him/her to turn. Anyone try any of these? Definitely not doing any crazy procedure. I had two friends that had the webster technique done on them. They said it hurt terribly and three weeks later then were both having their c-section. I am sure this guy will turn if he wants, and not turn if he doesn't, but I feel like it can't hurt to try a few of them.
- Breech Tilt Exercise
The breech tilt exercise is simply taking your hips above your heart. Some women do this with pillows stacked under their hips. It's probably easier and more stable to actually lean an ironing board on your couch and lay with your head towards the floor. This works by encouraging your baby to leave the pelvis and flip. Remember, babies want to be head down. It's all physics. - Cold at the Top of the Uterus
Using something cold at the top of the uterus of fundus, you can encourage your baby to move away from it. Since babies want to be warm and snuggled, this means they will often move away from the cold sensation. A bag of frozen peas works well. Be sure to do this with at least a thin layer of fabric between you and the peas. - Heat or Music at the Pubic Bone
A positive spin on getting the baby to move, is to play music at your pubic bone or even shine a flash light. Babies have been reported to move towards the sound or light. You might even combine it with the above tip. - Moxibustion
This is a form of Ancient Chinese medicine that involves burning a Moxi stick near a special point on your baby toe (Bladder 67). This should be performed by a practitioner of Moxibustion.Moxibustion has been studied and proven helpful at turning breech babies. - Webster Technique
This is performed by a qualified chiropractor. It involves adjusting the body to help relax any tension that may be holding the pelvis in a weird manner, thus creating a tense environment making it hard for the baby to maneuver around. - External Cephalic Version (ECV)
This procedure is performed usually by a doctor or midwife in a hospital setting. It is most commonly done with a shot of Brethine to relax the uterus. An ultrasound is used to guide the practitioner at physically turning the baby from the outside. (One mother's story.)

I've heard good things about the spinningbabies.com website. A blogger I used to read used it to spin her son and it actually worked!
my dr said only 3% of babies are born breech, so the odds are in your favor.
i'd just give the little one time.
