    Thanks ladies for the replies

    i guess its a wait and see thing then. Next week got the 32 week check up, so hopefully it will be a different story. I must admit, bubs here is quite active, and has been doing alot more than just kicking and punching lol. I think hes' been trying to turn, but cant? I feel like something is rolling and sliding in my stomach often.

    I guess time will tell.

    I'm at 38 weeks and 5 days and have a breech positioning, bubs has moved a little clockwise since yesterday's check up - had positioning ultrasound today and going for ECV - where they try to turn the baby tomorrow.
    Not too many doctors or obs are skilled in breech VB these days - they tend to go for the c-section.
    If they tell you bubs is breech at your next appointment - ask about your options. You don't want to be bombarded as I was at 38w4d with 3 or 4 times in 5 minutes being told that you might have to have a c-section in less than a week's time. At least you'll have time to prepare for the options if your Ob isn't on that wants to try a breech VB.
