if baby turns early does this mean baby will be born early?

I'm 33+5 and found out my baby turned at about 31 weeks (I remember as I was on the train home at the time and it was so uncomfortable at the time I had to stand up and walk about), and her little bottom has been sticking out of one side of my bump ever since. The midwife said her head is floating so not engaged, but I am curious to know if her having turned early(ish) is an indicator she will come out earlier. Or even is there a chance she could turn again and become breech?!

My 2 boys were head down by 28 weeks and stayed that way, the first was induced 2 weeks over my due date and the 2nd was born on his due date, so I don't thtink it means they come early.

This little madame in my tummy was head down at 28 weeks, head up at 32 weeks and 34 weeks but has turned and is head down again now at 35.

Hopefully she will stay that way

both of mine were head down at 28 weeks and were born at 39 + 1 and 40 weeks respectively.

far more to babies arriving than the direction they are facing !!

not all babies need to turn and my dd turned v v late on and i needed to be induced at 2nweeks over my due date.so def doesnt mean anything at all. sorry! dd2 was head down the whole pregnancy in the main and was still 11 days late.

DS1 was engaged early - can't remember exactly, but several weeks before edd. He was 5 days late.

DS2 didn't engage until after I went into labour and was a day early.

Sorry but the answer from me is no! Im 39+5 with my first and she turned and stayed down at 29 weeks. She engaged at 36 weeks.

I'm still flipping pregnant! Grrrrr (can you tell im not enjoying it?!)
