    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!

    Hun, I think they spin. My little one was head up on Wednesday at the scan, and then head down on Monday. My OB said, second time round there is a lot of room, and hard to tell position accurately without u/s. I am not worrying till at least 34 weeks, but trying to be good with sitting, and positioning to do all I can to encourage HEAD DOWN for that VBAC too.

    Thanks kawazuki and rufalina.

    I had absolutly no idea when the 'should' be head down from, I can remember my ob saying last time that they will start looking at spinning baby etc from 'x' weeks, I just cannot remember what week number he said , I knew it was still early days (this time I mean) I just really wanted an idea so I could try put at least one thing out of my head, for now .

    Hi Daintree
    My obs said just this wed gone that anytime from 34 wks bubs should turn to head down. This is my 1st though, not sure if it makes a difference.
