    There isn't much you can do really. You still have a chance for the baby to turn depending on it's size.

    I've known a few women who have had success with seeing a chiropractor trained in the Webster technique... which is designed to allow baby the room to turn.

    Also some have used a slant position. If you don't have any issues with elevated blood pressure, you can lie on the floor with legs up on chair or couch and pillows under your hips so that they are raised. Lie like this for about 15-20 minutes a few times a day (while watching TV works). The idea is that since heaviest part of baby is their head, the slant will bring them back up out of the pelvis enough for them to then turn head down once you are upright again. Some women say they feel baby turn, others don't know it until the next doctor's appointment. Would baby have turned anyway? Perhaps, but it doesn't hurt to try!

    Some doctors and midwives will also try an external version at about 37 weeks if need be. Success rate depends on baby's position, location of placenta, and doctor's experience with it. Some won't try at all. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

    Most babies will turn head down by 34 weeks, and even more will by 36 weeks... so as J_9 said, there is still time for baby to make the move on their own.
