Transverse at 32 weeks - will baby turn?

Just wondering if anyone has had a transverse baby who has moved without intervention? I’ve been advised against spinning babies due to a hematoma and baby has been transverse since 20 weeks.

Many years ago ds2 was transverse and he didn't turn. I had to have a section. But I do know a few people whose babies were transverse and then turned.

DC1 flipped from transverse to head down at week 36. Currently 37 weeks with DC2 and this one has not flipped. Can't have any manipulation to try to turn baby so ELCS now booked in. Yours still plenty of time to turn though!

Yes! This pregnancy baby was transverse until a little over a week ago, I’m now 35 weeks

Not quite transverse, but DD was oblique at 32 weeks and head down at 35 weeks (and then stayed head down).

Mine was transverse from 36 weeks onwards. She did turn head down at the end and when my waters were attempted to be broken (indution) she flipped back to transverse. I had a C-section.

You can try playing music at the bottom of your belly to encourage your baby to go head down. This is what I did. But ultimately they will lie where comfiest. Good luck.

Mine was transverse throughout my pregnancy until just before 36 weeks, when she moved head down. I’d been bouncing on the birthing ball but didn’t do anything else, who knows if that helped or if she would have done it regardless!

My. 2nd was transverse but turned at 38w
