Here are some methods that you can try after 32 weeks: - Place cushion on the floor, lie with your hips elevated about 45cm above your head for a duration of 15 mins. Do this three times a day (better if you could do it when your baby is active) - Rock back and forth gently on your hands and knees with your buttocks higher than your head level - Stand with your back to the wall and relax your spine. Inhale deeply and press the small of your back against the wall as you do so. Exhale and repeat for five minutes. Do this several times a day. - play music or have your husband speak to the bottom of your belly - try visualizing your baby in the head-down position There is no guaranteed result with these suggestions but there is no harm if trying.

My son was such an acrobat in my tummy. At 38th weeks, his head was down and my gynae told me "Good, he's ready to pop". At 39th week, he completely flipped and got into breech position hahaha. Gynae said there's only a very slim chance that he'll flip back and told me that I might have to go for Csection. What I did was to talk to my baby very often, ask him don't give Mama such a painful delivery (didn't want to be cut up) and asked him to be a good boy and turn back down. I also played songs there in the hopes that he might "follow" in the sounds. At my last scanning, his head was down ;) If all else fails, you might want to consider external cephalic version (ECV). I didn't want to even do this cause it personally looks scary to me but it's perfectly safe though! http://sg.theasianparent.com/breech-pregnancy/4/
