Im currently 21 weeks and after my scan on Friday been told that baby is breech, which explains the constant kicking I feel down low and the hard lump thats the head just under my ribs.

I know its still early days and has plenty of time to turn before birth, just wondering at what stage they worry about its position.. How many weeks?

Apparently 90% of babies are head down by 28 weeks BUT mine didn't turn till just after 32 weeks. They turn when they're ready!

Get a £5 excercise ball and use it - either just sitting on that instead of on the sofa to watch telly (stopping slouching helps get the baby in a good position), or better still by putting a blanket under your knees and leaning your arms/upper chest over the ball (gives the baby more room to move).

Good luck

DD turned by 37 weeks

I had been offered an ECV to turn her, but she went of her own accord and some reflexology

you have plenty of time - DD was every which way but head down until week 37 which is where she stayed
