At 38 weeks, there's still a bit of time for baby to turn, so don't worry too much yet. Some mums find that exercises like hands-and-knees positions, pelvic tilts, or even just walking help encourage baby to move down, though honestly the evidence is mixed. Since your doctor is already monitoring you closely and planning induction at 39 weeks, I'd suggest asking your PD or the hospital specifically what they recommend you can do in the next week or so, they'll know best what's safe for your situation. In the meantime, try to stay active and relaxed, and trust that your medical team has a good plan in place either way.
