Baby wrong way up....surely its not an issue yet???

[beckoes]

I had an appointment with my GP yesterday, but it wasnt my normal (read:awesome) GP. He had a feel around and tutted, told me that baby was bottom down and that id have to keep an eye on that otherwise there would be problems....what the hell is that ment to mean!!!!
I didnt ask him any questions cause to be honest i really didnt want to hear anything he had to say. il wait till i see my midwife in a few weeks.
But i cant help worry and wanted to know if the fact that baby wasnt head down yet was a problem...im only 28 weeks!
Was your baby this way up at this point, how/when did they turn, is there anything i could/should be doing to help it turn? should i just ignore the stupid GP thanks in advance!

this bub is still moving in every direction he possibly can, i think hes tryingto avoid the head down position for aslong as possible!! ur bubs not the only one hun xxx

Nah. I think you've already summed up the best approach for that GP

ETA - pretty sure this bub was transverse at that stage, btw

I got told DD was bottom down at 28 weeks but my Ob said there was still SO MUCH time for her to change positions so no big deal at all. He also told me percentages and it was very very likely she would turn around. Then at 32 weeks when he checked again and she was still bottom down he said very very likely she will turn and gave me more percentages that sounded favorable. My DD turned at 39 weeks! But apparently she is in the minority. I wouldn't waste any time worrying about it, you've still got ages to go

Pffft to that GP. Take it with a pinch of salt. There is plenty of time for bubs to get into the right possie hun.

While its not the way you want things, my DS ended up flipping in my 38th week of pregnancy - but he went from head down to bum down at the eleventh hour - as I say, not what we wanted but proof they move until quite late in the piece.

DD had a different end pointing up each weekly appointment until about 36 or 37 weeks, so there is definitely plenty of time for moving. I don't know if my ob checked the position at 28 weeks (if she did she didn't say what it was) because it's not really an issue at that stage. Ignore him!

There's still loads of room to move hun, I'd speak to your midwife in a few weeks like you say though xxxx
