Almost 29 weeks, Head down

I seem to read a lot on women asking if the baby will turn head down in time. My question is the opposite. My baby is already head down at 28 weeks and 5 days. Is it likely she will turn breech again? I am going for a VBAC and her being head down is a determining factor. Everything I've read so far is meant to encourage women that if their baby is breech at this point they have plenty of time to flip. Should I be thinking the same or is it a "once they're head down, that's it" type of thing?

    It's way, way too early to be worrying about what position the baby is in. It won't matter until you're over 36 weeks.

    There is always a possibility that he/she could flip again. My LO has been head down since 29 weeks and I'm a day shy of 38. I think it is something the doctor will definitely check again for you. However, as your LO gets bigger closer to the end, they do not really have room to flip.

    Totally still room in there for your LO to flip around a few more times. My little guy is almost always breech and our Dr said she is not going to start to be concerned till closer to 36 weeks. Some babies though go head down and just stay that way, same as mine has stayed breech the whole time. I wouldnt worry.

    Like others said, baby could do anything between now and deliver.  My first was head down right from my anatomy scan, and didn't really move at all (except to go from side to side) until delivery.

    Don't stress on this one...

    My son was head down my entire pregnancy and never flipped. This baby has also been head down so far... just keep your fingers crossed that he stays in position. It's all up to him!
