Posterior Baby and Awkward GP Appointments

Hello!
28 weeks here, just had my midwife Appointment and she thinks baby is posterior (she though breech originally yikes!)
She gave me an excersize to do every day to try and get her to turn over, any other tricks anyone has been advised of?

On a slightly unrelated topic, tried to book a 31 week gp appointment but they don't have ANYTHING appointments till way past that! Apparently I have to call the midwife and see if she can do it instead... Anyone else having this problem at this time of year?

At 28 weeks it's a bit early to be worrying about baby's position. They have lots of room still and could be changing position every 10 mins! According to NICE Guidelines she doesn't even need to palpate for position at this stage.

Can't answer the question about gp appointments. Where I live you see the midwife for all your appointments.

I agree with PP about it being too early to worry about position. I had my 36 week appointment last week where the midwife suspected breech. She referred me to the consultant but I'll be 38 weeks before I have my appointment with them. They are obviously not too concerned.

Babys position is not important at 28 weeks they only worry if it's 36 weeks and not head down
