Can baby turn at 32 weeks?

Hello, I'm currently 32 weeks and 2 days. Baby has been breech head under my ribs for most of my pregnancy. I had a growth scan at 28 weeks and they confirmed her position. I went to the midwife the other day and the midwife had a feel and said yeah there's definitely no head in your pelvis. I have another growth scan tommorow which I'm 99.9% sure they're gonna say she's still breech. In fairness I can feel it.

has anyone had this and the baby has turned?
it dosnt really matter all that much because I'm having an elective section at 39 weeks.

my main concern I think is that if she does move it's going to really hurt. Her movements are a little painful as it is.

Yes, my baby turned at 37 wks approx. Had been breech for ages, really stressing me out! You’ve still got plenty of time. I went swimming and even resorted to that moxibustion that seemed all the rage at the time. She turned during a session, so I have to assume there was something in it!

It didn’t hurt when she turned at all, btw. It looked weird though - my sister could see it happening, it was very obvious!

i don't feel like I have a very big bump this time around that's the only thing

I'm in the same situation and I bloody hope she turns. She was head down at 28 weeks and then extended breech at 31 weeks. I have a scan on Tuesday at 33 weeks so fingers crossed. It's so uncomfortable.

DC1 turned at 38 weeks - I may have felt some 'minor discomfort' it bloody well hurt and I thought it might be contractions.

DD turned at about 38 weeks. I had my pre section apt on the Friday, on Saturday night I thought labour was starting and there were some massive movements. Contractions were 3/4 minutes apart I remember saying to DH "if the next one's less than 3/4 minutes, I think we need to ring the hospital. The next thing I knew it was 7am and we'd gone back to sleep. Arrived at the hospital at 8am on Monday morning, consultant came to see me and had a feel of my tummy, smiled and said this baby's cephalic. He had tried two ecv's earlier and they had failed.

He offered to do the section if I wanted it but I felt unnecessary surgery couldn't be justified. Was induced 3.5 weeks later. Very quick and easy birth.

At 23 my daughter still lives life in her own time.

Mine turned the night before the ELCS at 39 weeks. All 8lb 6ozs of him. Ouch!

My breech baby turned around 36+6.

Wee sod was found to be breech at 36 week scan, despite (apparently) being cephalic at all appointments prior. Looking back though it's likely he had been breech for a while as I had heartburn something fierce thanks to his head pressing into my stomach. As for feeling him move? Well he was super wriggly the night of 36+5, but that was nothing out of the ordinary for him and his movements. Nothing has changed since he was born. A second positioning scan at 36+6 showed he was head down, and he thankfully stayed that way.

My baby turned at 39 weeks and it was very very painful

Update: I had my growth scan this morning and she's now head down. I didn't feel anything significant so I guess that answers my question
