Most of the time, by 36-38 weeks, the baby will have settled into a position and remain in that position. However, I have had one that actually turned from breech to vertex to breech while in labor at term. So anything is possible. At 29 weeks, the baby may well have been turned around the other way by the time you were dressed.
