Breech baby or head down?

So since 27 weeks pregnant I've been told at 27 and 30 weeks in a 4d scan that my baby was breech. They've also said once he was transverse, and for the past however many weeks they said breech. At my last midwife appointment (34 weeks) they said if he hadn't turned by my next appointment they'd book me in for a presentation scan.

I had my 36 week appointment today with a different midwife to usual, I expressed my concerns about baby being breech so she said she would have a really good feel for me. She had a long feel and said that there is a hard lump at the top by my ribs but said she thinks that could be his bum. She also used a small device to listen to the heartbeat instead of a doppler as she said you can only hear the heartbeat if it's pressed onto the place where the heart is. She said as she also could hear the heart beat down below, she was 98 percent sure he's head down. She agreed to book me in for a presentation scan tomorrow for reassurance.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, as for the past 2 weeks I've been mad googling breech babies and ECVs and ceseareans, but I don't want to get my hopes up just yet. Anyone else had any similar situation?

I'm nearly 31 weeks and baby is back to back and extended breech which is fun, I'm having a section anyway but they will be scanning me before baby is born to find out which position she is in
