Transverse baby.

Hey ladies, 
so I haven't been to active this time around but I was wondering if anyone else has had a transverse baby at or past 37 weeks flip?
my doctor is so laid back which I love but she doesn't discuss anything with me at all and I'm beginning to get concerned that I can't get him to flip. He's been this way since 31 weeks.
everything I read online ( I know take with a grain of salt ) says that it can cause for a C-section if he doesn't flip.
i plan to talk to her tomorrow about manually flipping him ( has anyone had this done??)

    No personal experience, but have you tried the tricks from the spinning babies website?  I know people who have had success with lying upside down on an ironing board leaned against the couch.

    I've been doing the techniques they suggest since week 34 and no luck in turning him yet. 
    That sounds interesting! Suppose I could try that tonight!

    There is likely a reason he won't flip. It could be anything from a short umbilical cord to just not enough room. My son was breech and I tried everything to get him to flip. When I talked to my doc about a version, she said if he hadn't flipped back and forth at that point, it was unlikely to be successful. She was right-I ended up having a septum in my uterus which was preventing him from flipping. I had a c-section and it was fine.

    How do you know if the baby is transverse? The movement I feel this time around is Soo different and I feel like baby might be sideways....

    i had an ultrasound to see, but this time around I knew something was different bc of where the movement was. 
    His head in on my left by my hip so I always feel pressure there and all the kicks are to the right.
