Breech presentation at 32 weeks

Can I ask you ladies something?

At the 32-week growth scan, they confirmed that our little one is lying transversely. I already had this feeling since I always feel her head on the right or left. Who had their baby in the correct position at 32 weeks, and who didn't?

I always thought that by 32 weeks, the baby should really be in the right position. I'm starting to worry that she won't turn, since she hasn't been in head-down position so far, as far as I know. My midwife already mentioned external cephalic version, but I absolutely don't want that... I've heard bad stories AND I don't want to force my little one into anything.
P.S. She is quite small, almost 2 weeks behind, maybe that's why there's still a lot of room and she hasn't settled into the right position yet??

    No reason to worry. She still has some time to turn (especially considering she's also 2 weeks behind on growth). And if you don't want to have a version done by then, you definitely shouldn't do it! I'm almost 37 weeks pregnant myself, and the little girl here has fully engaged, and we're just waiting for her to show up.

    I'm 35 weeks pregnant now. Yesterday at the check-up, the baby's head was nicely positioned down. Unfortunately, today it has turned again, so the head is now up under my right ribs.
    Hopefully your little one will still turn on their own in time!
