Has anyone's OB been wrong about baby's position?

Question

My son was breech from the time I was 28 weeks. I'm now 33+2 and doctor felt from my belly and said "feels like a head down there" during my appointment today. Could she be wrong? Will she do an ultrasound closer to delivery to be 100%? We're any of your doctors wrong?
 
Only reason I'm asking is because my first was head down early and pretty much stayed that way. It's a very different feeling for me this time, I feel movements and kicks in places I did not last time. I'm also concerned because it feels as if he has lowered a bit (pressure, groin pain, discomfort etc).

Answer

In both of my pregnancies, babies were heads down early on and their movements are very different.
This pregnancy, she was transverse on the 20tg ultrasound. I always feel her movements from both sides (until now at almost 36 weeks). I assumed she was still trabsverse when I went to my 28 week appointment but turns out she was heads down and just likes to stretch her butt in one direction and her toes in the other.
At some point, I thought she turned breach as I could feel movements below my bump. Turned out she was tickling me (actually saw her hands on ultrasound 😅).
My son's kicks were totally different.

Answer

My baby was breech at 28w (confirmed via ultrasound). At 33w, my dr thought he had turned head-down & said she'd confirm via ultrasound at 35w. Sure enough, he had.

Answer

Some babies will do what they want position wise until your pregnancy progresses to 31+ weeks. They start to flip during that time, so I wouldn't assume the DR is wrong. Kicks you feel may not be kicks. Could be movements of the babies legs and arms.
