baby in breech position

Okay so for the past few months my little boy has been head down yet today i went for a check up (currently 31 weeks) and he has decided to turn around into breech position.
Is this common, will he be able to turn back around on his own? This pregnancy has not been easy by any means, I've had HG and now PGP as well as the flu which has resulted in my HG coming back. If there is anything i can do to prevent any unwanted medical treatment for him to turn i will be over the moon.

Hi I had a little girl who did the same thing to me she was head down and for some reason at week 31 turned back up but her little feet got stuck in front of her face so she was unable to turn back I had csection and that went fine for me with no problems after and I healed fine. I hope your little one turns for you but if it doesn't I hope everything goes OK on delivery and healing :) :)

My bub was head down at 30 weeks and then at 33 weeks turned breech. A couple of days later he/she had turned back head down. Bub stayed head down until I went for my 38 week check up and I was very surprised to find out he/she was in the breech position AGAIN. I was sent to the hospital to talk to the ob there and he booked me in for a ecv for the next day. I went home and did some exercises to get try bub to turn (hands & knees, hips elevated, hip rotations, ice pack on top of belly and heat pack at bottom of belly). I got up in the middle of the night and noticed a big bump (the bum) sticking out near my ribs. So i thought bub must have been making it's way back down. When I went for my appointment the next day bub was back head down. So even at 38 weeks, bub was able to turn on his/her own.
