Same for me, my second child, dd was breech and turned around at around 38 weeks.  I was rather worried that I would have to go thru the manual turning process prevatt77 described.  My doc seemed more apt to perform a C-section.  Talk to your doc.

Best wishes...

My first pregnancy my daughter was breech and she finally flipped on her own.  My son was a different story.  I had to have a version done, where they manually flip the baby with two doctors, one on the baby's head and one on the butt.  It was soooo painful, I would never do it again.  It was done by ultrasound to keep an eye on the cord incase there was a cord accident and they monitored his heart the entire time, incase something went wrong I was able to go right in for an emergecy c-section.  I was 38 weeks when I had it done, he did stay head down after the version.  I would NOT recommend try the things they mention to try and flip the baby yourself.  You don't want to have that cord going all crazy in there and have a chance of something happening.  Just my thoughts.  Good luck and I hope your baby does flip because I wouldn't recommend the version to anyone.  I went on you tube and watched one prior and it looked horrible on there too.

I agree it is very likely she will turn on her. It is not uncommon for some babies not to turn until the 36th week of pregnancy.

I think there is a very good chance baby will turn. If not, the doctors may try to turn baby themselves to avoid a c-section.
