Q: I am 29 years old and have entered the ninth month of my pregnancy. My report shows that my baby's head is not pointing downward as it should. Instead, the legs are in the down position. Is there any way to turn the position of my baby?

A:Yes, it can be changed. You can lie down with the feet at a higher level than the head, by using some bricks under the foot end of your bed. This is sometimes known to help the baby turn.
