33 wks, not head down

I may be over reacting. This is my 3rd child, my last 2 children were always head down, and in the right position by this time. Both my children were larger (9lbs 2oz and 8lbs 14oz)- this baby feels bigger then them at this point. At last appointment he had his head still above my left hip with his body horizontal across my abdomen. I can tell he is still not head down with the movements, if this baby is larger then siblings im worried he wont move in the right position and I will have to do a c section.  Has anybody ever had something similar to this? What was your experience??

I'm 34 weeks and 4days and my baby is breech too. Drs told me not to worry because baby can move head down at the last min but at 36 weeks they will be checking again to see if she moved to the position she needs to be and if not they will try moving her them selves. But they told me to lay doggy style on the floor. Hopefully that works!!

Just did actually, my little boy was breech and finally turned down in my 34th week. Sometimes they wait until the last second.
Hang in there.
