I had my 28 week check-up and the doctor told me the baby has not turned head down. She said right now he is transverse so he's kind of laying sideways.
She said he should turn in the next 4 weeks and that hopefully he will turn head down. Anyone else's LO not flip head down yet? Any mom have experience with babies who are in the wrong position? What happens if he's breech? TIA.

That said, I think a lot of doctors do c-sections if baby is breech. I've heard of doctors who will deliver a breech baby but I understand that's pretty rare.
I've already looked into spinning babies and will definitely try that out. I've also heard good things about the Webster Technique (an adjustment by a specially trained chiropractor). If he's still stubborn at my next appointment I'll look more into that. I did just read that 17% of babies are breech at 30 weeks but only 4% are when they're full-term, so there's a good chance of him flipping.
I'm going to try and not think too much about it.
Because I didn't have a scan at this point with my DD, I would never have know whether she was breech or not. By 32w I remember she was head down. So I guess I'll wait and see...
