Back to back at 35 weeks

I’m 35 weeks with baby 2. I have an anterior placenta so have been worried about a back to back baby, and pretty sure she is back to back at the moment as my bump feels quite soft at the front. Baby 1 was in the perfect position for birth and I had a smooth and fast labour, which I was hoping to repeat this time. Has anyone got any tips to encourage baby to move? And/or positive stories about giving birth back to back?

I’ve been planning a homebirth but wondering if that’s a bad idea if she hasn’t turned.

@FolkSongSweet

Thanks so much for all the replies. My midwife is checking the baby’s position next week at my 36 week appointment so I guess il know more then, and will try all the exercises in the meantime.

For people who had a hard time (eg @notangelinajolie) would be good to know if it was your first labour or not? Spinning babies website says that b2b is less likely to be an issue if you’ve had a baby before and pushing went well (pushed for 15 mins with DC1), which I would love to be the case.

Yes was my first labour.

It was my first (and only) baby and it probably wasn't helped by the face that ds inherited my enormous head. He looked like a conehead when he was born.
Waters started to trickle Tuesday morning 8am, was checked at 7pm and went home. Pains got unbearable at about 2am and went to hospital. 10cm dilated at 10am and started pushing, ds was born at 12.20pm. It was hard work.
