They normally stay head up until around 32 weeks....But its different for everyone.

Oh cool I asked cuz someone was like their doc said the baby was breech at 22 weeks, but I didnt think it mattered, and some of the illustrations I see show a baby upside down.

When they're little still and there is a lot of room in uterus they will flip around all the time...But around like 23-25 weeks the space in the uterus starts becoming very tight rapidly so then they generally, not always, but most of the time stay head up until around 32 weeks.

Yeah tru was breech at 19 weeks, but there's almost 0% chance that she won't move.
