It's common to see some small bits on the toilet paper and it doesn't mean anything is about to happen, so don't panic! Got a breech baby? Don't worry! There's plenty you can do at this point to help junior get into a more optimal position for birth. Up until 37 weeks of pregnancy, there's a very good chance your Baby will have enough room to move about. Firstly, try getting yourself into that same position you want your baby to be in: head down!
Don't worry, this doesn't mean headstands, but it does mean being a bit more flexible than you've perhaps been over the past few weeks. Try kneeling on a low sofa and extending your arms to the floor, but never ever try it without some assistance! Swimming, yoga and some time on the birthing ball are also good options. If exercises are just a bit too much for your aching body, try placing a bag of frozen peas at the top of your belly.
It sounds ridiculous, but it really can help! Baby won't like the cold and may try and turn his or her head away from the cold patch!

As your due date approaches, it's a good idea to learn the signs of early labor, just in case.
