 Sorry I don't mean to be mean but come on, anything we tell you really isn't worth a grain of salt. If you are concerned about your baby, talk to a professional.

 If you go in to labour with the baby not in correct position, doctors and midwives will attempt to turn the baby manually - using their hands on the outside. It has a pretty good success rate, but should it fail they may opt for a ceaser.
Btw - don't try turning it yourself in the coming days, ..apparently quite a bit of force and pain is involved and you wont know yourself if you are putting it in the right position, not to mention those other rare issues that may need to be addressed at the same time, such as if a cord is wrapped around a body part.

I assume that is you went into labor and the baby hasn't dropped yet they would do a C - section. But as long as there are no changes in the baby's breathing orheart rate, I think the baby will be fine. I think your midwife and the hospital is really on top of it.

I wouldn't be too worried. Babies move around alot and until your in labor, and I mean hard labor, the baby could still move. There are things that they can do to try and move the baby in the right position. And there are things you can do too. Getting down on all fours and rocking gently back and forth can help sometimes.

Kayla why do you persist with these pregnancy questions????Talk to your doctor, midwife, someone who can actually offer an informed medical opinion on all these questions. We are a a random bunch of strangers for crying out loud.
