sunny side up

In my last appointment my doctor told me baby is head down already only concern is that he is sunny side up im a ftm and have been doing some exercises she recommended to get him to rotate... what can happen if I don't get him to turn on time? On monday I have a membrane sweep scheduled I've been told it can jump start labor I'm kinof scared he wont turn on time is it bad?

Does sunny side up means that the baby will come out face up instead of down? If so, my cousin was born that way and she ended up with black eyes and her forehead was bruised. But other than that she was OK.

It just means your labor could be longer and youll probably have back pain with it. Lots of hands and knees positions should help with getting him to turn. They can even turn after labor has started, id try to do as many hands and knees or forward facing positions as posible. They want baby to be facing your back, thats where the line up the best for their head to push on your cervix and its less painfull for you. Best of luck, I hope he turns!
