At what stage in pregnancy is a baby generally head down rather than breech?

[DaintreeDream]

This might be a silly question but my DD was breech from the start right up until birth never once did she want to be head down.

Yesterday I had a scan and baby is in the same position, I understand that it is still very early and there is plenty on time but is it the norm that a baby is head up and bum down at 19-20 weeks or is it usually head down by this scan?

Thanks for any advise on this .

Oh gosh really! Thats a good way to keep me guessing up until the last minute .
(DD was born by CS at 38+2 and I am hoping for a VBAC)

Ok whith my DS he has HD from 32wks, Lilli, heheh she really was checky, she cahnged a few times, but from 34wks, however this one, has been since 26wks!!!! She has not moved yet, so i guess she has found her possy. Each baby is so different.

Jazz didn't spin until 33/34 weeks, and one midwife had me worrying but others said thats normal while they still have some room. She kept us guessing, she'd move around head up-head down-head up every few days LOL, cheeky monkey!
A friend of Shel's went into labour with her first and he was breech and turned a little bit after contractions started!!

Apparently this is what I did, so my Mum tells me (although I was baby #2).

Matilda had no room to move she waited to long to turn and she had no chance, my belly was very compact and she was snug with enough but minimal fluid.

Fingers crossed for you too Mel .

Our bubs was floating all over the place at 20 weeks and assumed the 'dive position' (as I fondly like to call it) by 26 weeks. My OB said that was quite early (although great!) so I wouldn't be worried yet hon.

Good luck Daintree, you're an inspiration to all of us

I'm pretty sure mine is still breech at the moment honey, so we can hope together that both the bubs turn!
