Baby facing down in ultrasound week 11, 6 days

Hello can I check if anyone has this experience. This is my first pregnancy and when I went for my check up, I was 11 weeks 6 days. Baby was facing downwards towards my toe throughout the scan that lasted for 15 mins thereabout. Doctor did mentioned that he or she can move around and face anywhere he or she wants and this is normal but me being a worry wart am not sure if this is normal or if anyone has experienced this?

I experienced the same thing too but the gynae who helped me to scan ask me to try coughing or go toilet.after going toilet,baby is facing up. the next scan baby faced down again,then followed by facing up again.so definitely normal no worries :)

Mine at 16weeks im so excited to know the gender but when the dr did the scan bit when i looked the monitor the baby was on prone position🥴😅

Perfectly normal. You still have a long way to go and baby will keep facing up or down and move around a lot so don't worry.

Absolutely normal! Baby’s going to move around a lot. May not be in the same position at the next visit!
