Hello Lovely Ladies,
I went to the doctor this morning for my monthly check-up and Bean is measuring right on track! The only hitch...he is totally transverse at 24 weeks and 1 day. The doctor didn't seem overly worried and said there was still time for him to turn. Obviously, I would prefer to have a vaginal birth over a c-section so it has me a little anxious. Also, he is laying low in my abdomen. The placenta is up and not low laying, but he is camping out down there pretty low.
Anyone else experience one or both of these? How did it turn out? Thoughts?
Thanks so much!

DS was completely breach until 37 weeks - we went in for the version appointment and he had flipped to vertex. Don't waste a second worrying!
Mine is breech right now and the doctor is totally fine with that. She said that babies can flip around at anytime and they typically don't worry about it until week 36.
My last baby was breech at every appointment until 36 weeks, when she finally turned head down. I went for an induction at 38 weeks due to high blood pressure, and upon admission she was still head down. At some point during labor, she turned again and was in the transverse position. We were immediately taken for a c-section because I was 10 cm, and there is no way to vaginally deliver a transverse baby.
I posted this because I learned it is clearly never to late for the baby to turn. My doctor did say it was extremely unusual for a baby to turn during labor, but anything can happen. I absolutely would not worry about baby's position at 24 weeks.
DD was transverse or breech my ENTIRE pregnancy until she finally went head down at 36 weeks.
At 24 weeks I'm surprised your doctor would even mention anything about it.
