Had my appointment today and he didn't check. I guess he's not concerned until later as the baby can.go back and forth

I had my appt 2 weeks ago, which was 27 weeks  and was told my baby was already head down. I'm 30 weeks today and I'm kinda nervous because I know baby can change positions again . Lol I posted a question like this and got a few responses if you wanna look! You and baby have plenty of time :)

You have lots of time still so dont stress. C-section is a last resort. Come closer to your due date your doctor will show you a few tricks to get her flipped around and if shes still being stubborn they will try to spin her around by pushing on the out side of your belly (you often have to wear a monitor during this just to ensure they are not stressing baby out) but you have absolutly no need to worrie. There are casss where bany spins around a day before labor or even an hour before. :)

i took an 8 hr birthing class the other day and they said if the baby stays head up its an automatic c section. i hope she turns before she gets too big lol
