Baby turned after 35 weeks?

Hi everyone,
So I'm a FTM and currently 35+1. A few days ago I went to the midwife and she said she was pretty sure baby is head down (as she has been since 28 weeks) but not 100%. Since then I'm pretty sure the baby is actually breech as I can felt a large, hard bulge just under my ribs and her hiccups can be seen high up on my bump.
Does anyone know if it's likely baby would have turned breech at this stage of my pregnancy? Do you think I should contact the midwife about it as I don't have another appointment now until 38 weeks?
T.I.A. x

It is possible, the lower of our twins turned breech between 32+5 & 36+5.
You can ask the midwife but she'll likely say it can wait until 38wk app.

My baby is head down and can feel her bum which is a large bump under my ribs and can always feel her hiccups high up as her entire back and bum moves x

Nothing to worry about and it can wait until your next appt.

Docs tried to turn my 1st child with no luck...but he turned overnight 3 days before I was to be induced.
Oh the relief.

Thanks for your replies Smile. @Chelyanne can they still turn the baby at this point in the pregnancy or did you have to have a c-section? I guess it might be different for twins anyway.
Sorry for the questions but I literally know nobody who has had a c-section and it slightly terrifies me! X

They will offer an ECV for singletons if they are breech late on.

They wouldn't try with twins due to the low success rates, we gave her 9 days to turn on her own but I had elcs as she stayed put. My elcs was so much better than I expected, I'm booked in for one with this baby in a few weeks. I've chosen it over early induction, very big baby and hormone drip doubles the chances of scar rupture.
