Transverse baby

Hi all
I was told at my last scan (34 weeks) that my baby was in transverse lie position. I have another scan at 36 weeks in a few days to check position but I’m fairly sure he’s still that way, or at least flips between breech and transverse.
I know that normally you’d be admitted to hospital for observation for a few weeks prior to birth because of the risk of cord prolapse, but with all that’s going on I don’t think they’d be doing that, could be wrong of course.
Just wondering what is your experience of having a transverse baby and what the outcome was? Anyone else in the same position?

My baby was transverse until 35 weeks . My midwife didn’t seem too concerned though. She said it was still early on .

I felt it when the baby changed position though . I suddenly felt pressure in different areas and my belly looked different.

I birthed him vaginally at 37 weeks.

My son was transverse i had to be induced so on the day it was decided I would have a c section as it was a lot of work to turn him.
