I had my appointment yesterday and our baby girl has flipped down!  I did a couple of things suggested and I'm not sure if they helped or we just got lucky, but here you go:
Played music on phone low at my bump. I would just kind of lay my phone on my pubic bone while I laid in bed before sleep or while watching TV.
Propped some pillows up under my butt with my legs laying on the couch and my head and back on the floor.  I didn't do this one very often, but I guess tilting like that helps baby to tuck his/her chin and then somersault over.
Also, someone suggested peppermint oil across the body just under the boobs... Baby doesn't like it and turns head down.  Not for sure on that one, but I had some strong peppermint lotion and would put it on like that just before bed sometimes.  Good luck again everyone!

I hope all or babies flip!  Is anyone's in the frank breech position?  The ultrasound tech said she doesn't think she will flip bc of her position :(

My first turned four days before I delivered. We got to watch him flip on the ultrasound. Pretty cool but I was super relieved

35 weeks and still breech, trying not to stress myself as hearing from others that babies can turn anytime till labour specially if it's not first baby.

Same here. I asked about really low pains (baby kicking my vagina) & the doctor said she was breeched at last appt. I have an appt tomorrow for 34 weeks and we'll if she still is. I hope she flips because they won't do an EV on me since I am going for VBAC. It will be automatic csection if she stays breeched. :( Lots of women have been encouraging on here though. Some babies do flip at the very last minute. Just don't let the doc schedule anything until at least 40 weeks to give baby full developing time & the possibility is higher that she will flip!

Don't worry. Baby still has some space to turn.  I know many cases where babies turned from breech to head down position one week or even couple days before delivery
