Apparently our little girl is hanging out in a transverse position, so head on one side, feet on the other, and facing down. If she doesn't go head down at our next appointment, 33 weeks, we're going to have to start talking about making her flip. She's been in this position every appointment that we've had.
What position was your LO in around 30 weeks?

My LO was head down and low from somewhere around 20-24 weeks until she was born.

Ours is head down at 29w4d and has been since 20 weeks. Hope your little girl flips soon.

My LO was transverse but by 30 weeks had flipped head down.
Hope she moves for you!

DD was head down. I think this one might be making her way down there, too. I've been feeling the same crazy movements that I did last time lately. I'll see at the u/s next week.

Liv was completely transverse, facing forward. She never got fully head down. She ended up kind of diagonal. Its more difficult for a baby to get from transverse to head down than it is for them to get from breech to head down. Thats why they want to take actions to get her to spin now rather than later.

They didn't say anything about it that early, I asked and they said it was too soon to make anything of it, but maybe it was a couple weeks earlier when I asked. I'm pretty sure she was transverse for awhile because it felt really goofy. She did flip to head down and shortly after that she dropped.

We are still tranverse at 31 weeks. My doctor is giving us until week 36 until we get concerned, because this is my third and my DDs were head down he is not as worried. I can't wait until this baby flips, it is so increadibly uncomfortable:(

It has some exercises to try to get the baby into position. I did handstands in the pool during second tri 
At 33 weeks baby is head down here.

At 27 weeks I had a cervical check and the baby was head down and low at that time.

Not sure! Didn't ask and didn't want to unnecessarily worry myself for no reason. Still plenty of time to get into position!

He was frank breech at that time (bum down). I tried a bunch of exercises from spinning babies and moxibustion (for 10 seconds) and he never flipped. We didn't try an ECV because my amniotic fluid levels were slightly low.

My baby was transverse around 30 weeks too, and I even felt them briefly switch to breech. I could tell something was cockeyed because my stomach felt so stretched and uncomfortable!
Their head got heavier in the next few weeks and baby is settled in OA position now, in week 35. I wouldn't worry, there's plenty of time yet, and lots of ways to wiggle them down!

Baby was frank breech at 28 weeks and by 30 she had flipped. It is supposed to happen sometime bw 28-34 weeks I think, so hopefully it'll happen for you. I didn't even notice when she flipped, my doctor told me after poking around that she did.

At 32 weeks baby was head down and was still in that position at my last appointment at 37 weeks.

At 28 weeks Doc said she is Breech. I guess we'll see if anything changes Friday at my next appointment. I think if she's still beech at 34 we schedule a just in case section date since the hospital books up.

Head down, hoping that I'm far enough along that DS won't be moving in the next 3 weeks!
