Am 34 weeks pregnant.

My last growth scan at the hospital was 28 weeks where I was told baby is breech with legs extended.

Then I had my midwife appointment at 31 weeks, where I was told baby is breech still and got plenty of time to turn around. I was getting alot of movement in my lower abdomen.

I've recently had my 34 week midwife appointment and midwife says baby head is 3/4 engaged. However I'm still getting the same kicks and movement in lower abdomen and nothing in the upper abdomen by my ribcage.
Personally I still think baby is still breech. I know midwives can get this wrong sometimes.

I'm a very active personal and have been walking almost 2 hr daily and doing 45 min indoor spinning 5days a week.

My next midwife appointment is week 36 and hospital appointment for scan week 39. Don't you think that's cutting it fine if baby is breech still at that point?
I'm not really looking forward to an ECV if that's the case.
Have been doing moxibustion at home as apparently it's got a good success rate.

Should i request a scan when i see my midwife at week 36? What are your views and opinions?

Definitely push for a scan to confirm the position, as you're still feeling similar kicks as before, it'll put your mind at rest. Had a similar issue with my midwife re baby still being breech, currently 33 weeks - I know they usually turn, as midwife keeps telling me. I felt uncomfortable leaving it for weeks to have a back up plan and pushed to be monitored by a consultant from 34 weeks to have a back up plan (elcs etc).

So I pushed for a scan as the movements were real strong in my lower abdomen. Had a scan at 36 weeks (this week) and baby is head down and the movements are his hands, proper strong that too. I feel reassured and can now make a birth plan as well as a back up plan.
I feel maybe moxibustion has helped me, did it for 10 days, 10 mins on each side.
