Baby’s head in weird position

Question

Hello everyone! Im 37 weeks pregnant and a very anxious first time mom. 😬 I was just at the OBGYN and everything came back fine and normal except… my OBGYN was frustrated while doing the ultrasound because baby was in a weird position and was making it difficult to get measurements. When I asked more, she said that baby is indeed head down, but her head is tilted backwards which is making it hard for her to see much. When I asked if this was normal/okay, she just shrugged and said “it’s how she wants to be”.

I have a bit of an issue with this doctor anyways because… she always responds to my concerns this way. 😅 I am wondering if it’s because I had to lie back for an NST and was forgotten about for about an hour and a half and she moved a lot while I was lying there?

Does anyone here has any insight on this and if it is indeed normal or if it’s something I should worry about or try to fix with some form of positioning of my body at home/yoga ball/ whatever? My anxiety is telling me that this is a problem but google isn’t being incredibly helpful and just making me more anxious as per usual, lol.

Thanks in advance!
