Did you have a breech baby that turned themselves?

Hi all, currently 32 weeks and last time I had a scan baby was oblique breech, and it's only in the last day or two that I'm almost certain he's head down now as I'm feeling kicks more towards the top of my bump, but in these last few weeks he's been all over the place!
Just wondering - if your baby was breech at any point, when did they turn themselves? And when they did, did they stay that way or was there lots of flipping about before full term?
I had a c/s last time and am hoping for a VBAC, his position is currently the only thing that might get in the way of that!
Would appreciate your stories!

All of my dc were breech at about 32-34 weeks.

One was still breech at 38 weeks. I spent a weekend doing the spinning babies things, hanging off the sofa upside down, and he turned himself, he was quite a big baby too.

But his older brother was breech at a scan at 36 weeks, then allegedly head down when the midwife felt a week or so later.
In fact the midwives reassured me he was head down right up until his feet came out first, at 41 weeks. Grin

My 2nd and 3rd were breech until fairly close to when I was giving birth. I was booked in for one of those turn things with one of them. With both I just crawled everywhere in the house, sat on dining chairs leaning over the back, and watched TV on my knees leaning on a birthing ball. They both turned by themselves.

Yes, mine was breech throughout, including at an ultrasound I had at 35 weeks. Then at my 36 week appointment we found he had turned. I hadn't felt it happen even though he was quite a large baby.

Ahh I know he's got plenty of time to turn, it's just that he's been quite comfortably breech this whole time. I'm pretty sure he's flipped back again last night as I'm getting kicks low down again and I listened into his heart today and it was up on my top right hand side, little monkey!
