Wow! That IS strange! You would think they would at least try what they could and give it some time! 

I had an appointment this morning. I'm almost 32 weeks and baby is constantly changing position. He will spend a few hours head down and then flip to breech, lay transverse and then squirm around to some other position. Doctor commented that it was "perfectly fine" and that even though most babies are getting to where they need to be, he doesn't think there is any room for worry until the day that baby is ready to come.

My dr tried to pull that with me a few weeks ago! I was only 33 weeks! It really freaked me out! But we had another scan a few days later and she had turned again... So yeah, when I go on the 7th to get my stitch out and my last scan if she is breech again and they try to pull the section crap on me, I'm going to tell them I'm just leaving the practice then... There's NO WAY I'm scheduling a section that early! And if I go into labor right a way then they can try to turn her if she's still breech! I've been doing lots of "spinning babies" stretches tho so hopefully it won't be an issue!

This girl is regularly frank breech! All the kicks and punches are located in one small area up under my right side. Sigh.

She does move around but always gets right back to that same old position. Went for 3d ultrasound pics and couldn't get ONE decent shot it was all legs and arms in front of her face.

I've been doing inversions a-la spinning babies and lots of pelvic tilts, hands and knees, sitting on the birth ball. They won't mess around with frenk breech here- if she stays like this my midwives will keep tabs on it till 39-40 wks then want to schedule a C.

I'm keeping hope alive that she'll turn. My DS was the same way, always resting breech until he turned at about 39 wks.

Having a lot of the same experience! Will probably wait until labor to decide on going in for a C-section is my guess.  Sometimes I think she has turned head down and then tonight I felt a head near the top again. How frustrating! It took half our ultrasound time to get decent pictures.

34 weeks. Still not head down. Transverse a lot. I know there is time still, but it's starting to bother me....

Webster, moxa, and hypnosis were all very helpful. I had to do Webster about 6-7 times before my baby turned vertex at 35 weeks.

I am 38 weeks with my third child, baby has been head down for awhile. Suddenly today she is transverse. My midwife is not concerned, said to spend sometime on my hands and knees to get her into position.
