Transverse Position

in 3rd Trimester
I am 34 weeks and I just had my 34 week visit today. The doctor told me that my baby is in a transverse position. Does anyone know how I can get the baby to turn head down? She said he has a little time to change position but by weeks 36-37 babies don't really change positions anymore.

I just want to get him to turn head down by himself if at all possible.

    They can change position. Do you feel baby flip often?

    My first was head down until I went into labor, and literally flipped on the way in and I ended up with a c section. She flipped all the time though. She was also smaller at 6lb6oz.

    Check out spinningbabies.com for positions you can get into to encourage him to turn. Mine keeps flipping between transverse and head down, and boy transverse can be uncomfortable for me!
