Hi,
Thanks for writing..
Baby turning after 32 weeks is difficult due to increasing size of the baby and decreased amniotic fluid.. Turning is difficult after 35 weeks.. But in some cases there will be turning of the fetus after 34 weeks.. If the baby doesnot turn after 36weeks, you have to undergo c section.. Hope I have answered your query.. good day..
