silly position question

i'm 39 weeks and baby is on my right hand side, kicks to left. is low and hopefully nearly ready... But i am confused. our nct teacher said when baby hits perineum it turns always clockwise, does this mean right hand side babies go back to back? or am i being silly?

I'm not sure but my baby was facing right and is now back to back at 36 weeks.

I think it's going to be awkward like it's father Hmm

My understanding is they can go either way. I think they usually go clockwise which is why the left is optimal. DS would switch from left to right in the last week of pregnancy & ended up back to back unfortunately.
