when does your baby typically flip?

I am almost 27 weeks! tge other day i had some pressure and cramping but i could feel my babys bottom up higher into my ribs... the next day she flipped back to laying into my hips bur you could see her head and her bottom sticking out on the sides! It was cute but it makes me feel as if my stomach will pop or like she is going to fall off! Now her bottom is down and her head is up... so she is still switching positions i am just curious as to when she should be in the head down position?

I have my 3d/4d ultrasound at 28 weeks so we will see by then.:) just as long as she goes head down in time for delivery is all that matters to me! Id rather not have a c section.

I went to my 36 week appt today & my dr said baby has flipped. Two weeks ago baby hadn't flipped yet. I'm thinking at the the end of your third trimester. Everyones different, maybe I'm delayed.

Aww :) it is so exciting! My mom said that with all of her pregnancies us kids were flipped at her 28 week appointment and she had already had preterm labor a few times since 20 weeks she delivered all of us each different pregnancies by 34 weeks. So far i havent had anything like my mom luckily! :) but I have been driving my fiance insane with cleaning and throwing things away lol he seems to hate it :)
