Hello I'm 32 weeks tomorrow I have low pappa so baby is on smaller side and I get scans every 2-3 weeks had one today she's 42% now which is good but she's lying sideways I know it's not to worry about till 36 weeks but want to hear postive stories and what you did to get them to turn?? This is my second baby my son was born VBAC and was head down early but sunny side up.

I'm commenting because you seem so scared at the prospect of a c section.My first was undiagnosed breech following being induced, so an emergency c section - but that won't happen to you as you are being monitored closely.
My second was elective c section as labour did not progress with sufficient speed and as a so - called "geriatric mum" it was thought best for our wellbeing! But I could have continued with a natural delivery if I wanted to.
Don't be scared of having the c section. The procedure doesn't hurt and recovery can be quick if there are no complications. Both my children were healthy and I recovered quickly.
I believe as many as 10% of births can be c sections.

42% of births in the U.K. are now by caesarean section! In my trust we’re actually at 50%, mostly electives.

So your son wasn't in fact a VBAC then?
