36+4 baby’s position & advice

I was sent to the hospital after my appointment last Wednesday (35+3) and they did 3 ultrasounds. At that point baby girl was head down but still laying on her side. Also at my appointment this week her head is still really far back and I’ve been a “loose one and soft” for 2 weeks now🙄. Any advice on how to get her to fully engage? I’ve tried the ball, laying knees to elbows with my butt in the air, walking, she’s just being stubborn🤷🏻‍♀️

Can her being in this position stall things from progressing?

Lastly, HOW BAD DOES GETTING THE EPIDURAL HURT?? I’m terrified. I’ve seen way too many “Baby Stories” TV shows growing up and it’s done nothing but make it worse. I’m a wienie with needles to say the least.

**picture to show JUST how much attitude this child has😂**
