Usually the baby will flip on its own by 38 weeks. Some suggestions would be to lay an ironing board on the couch and lay backwards with your head pointing down or sleeping with your legs propped up on books. Playing music by your vagina or using a flash light to make a path that the baby may follow down. I had a baby in the breech position and I tried everything in the book but she didn't want to turn. If your baby doesn't end up turning on its own you may want to consider a version (where they us massage on the outside of your abdomin to turn the baby). I had a lot of people tell me that its very painful but when I got it done it didn't hurt at all but everyone is different. Otherwise they'll give you the option for a c-section. But most doctors won't consider either option until at least 38 weeks because again babies usually turn by then.
