Brief Answer:
Wait till 35-36 weeks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

I understand your anxiety related to the issue.

There are around 25-30% chances of baby to Summersault its presentation from breech to cephalic.
Best assessment will be at 35-36 weeks of pregnancy.

Till then just wait and keep a check on fetal movements, there is nothing active that you can do to revert the position so just wait for a few weeks and get it checked again.

All the best.
