Hello!
You should be not worried because this the proper and the most commonly position of your baby.
For the motion of the baby you should be worried if you do not feel about 20 fetal movements.

Hi, thank you for the querry.
Your baby being head down should not be a cause of worry. Thats the most common position babies adopt in utero. In the same position it keeps moving side to side,so just be sure that every day you notice and feel the fetal movements.
With your pregnancy in 33 weeks the and baby in head down position ,is a good chance for normal delivery. so relax and just be watchful of fetal movements daily.
