    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

    Thankyou Taurean . 26 weeks isn't so bad, I hope my baby has turned by then.

    Skybie, it is nice to know that babies do turn at later stages.

    Now I have to sit back and wait!

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