Can baby turn breech at 40+2?

Hi all,
I am 40+2 today and I have noticed that baby's movements are a little unusual today.

Had to go to ADU yesterday for reduced movements & severe dizziness. All seemed ok & baby really perked up in the evening, the movements became very pronounced in the evening. To the extent that I could see baby's indiviual fingers Baby was all over the place & the movements were sometimes quite painful.

Anyway the baby has been moving loads again today but I have noticed that I am getting very big and pronounced kicks really low down again. Right near my pelvic bone.

baby was breech up until 31 weeks when baby then turned. Do you think baby could turn breech again this far in to the pregnancy? Do they have enough room at this point to be able to do so? baby was right way round on Monday when I had my MW appointment, she said baby was back to back, but right was round.

TIA

Apparently they can move at any time, my reflexologist gets ladies whose babies turn when overdue. Usually you'd feel it. Boook in for a scan if you're unsure, and if it's turned, moxibustion and reflexology are great. Mine only turned at 37 weeks, and I worry it could flip back as very active. Good luck

Sorry about this, mine kept on turning right up until the day she was born at 42+3.

Fortunately when I went into labour she was head down - probably something to do with my running up and down stairs that day to encourage her to be in the correct position

Thanks ladies,
I think I will ring the MW and get it checked out. I just wasn't sure if they could move that much at this point of the pregnancy.

Thank you

Little bit of an update.

baby has been moving loads again all day and I'm now getting kicks at the top side of my bump IYSWIM, so I think baby has turned again? But I dont know!!!!

MW said they will check when I go in nest wednesday for my consultant appointment! So I will have to wait until then.
