Just a bit of advice really
Had a 28 week scan
And baby is transverse
Been so uncomfortable I knew something up
Will I end up with C section?

I didn't need one. Both of mine were transverse t that stage and both moved all by themselves.

Have a read up on Optimal Foetal Positioning. If nothing else, it will give you a bit of hope Smile

My current baby was transverse at 28 weeks. Was head down at 32 weeks. My first baby was also transverse for a while, but turned at some stage that I can no longer remember. I don’t think they worry about it until 36 weeks. So your baby has plenty of time to turn - look up how you should be sitting/positioning etc to help them turn.

My baby was transverse until 30 weeks, he turned and has stayed head down ever since thankfully. I know how uncomfortable it is so you have my sympathy. Its very likely babe will turn on their own.

I did need one but baby never engaged & I also had excess fluid so they were just cartwheeling in there.

I'm at a similar stage and the baby is transverse with a foot over their shoulder. Clearly they are more flexible than me!
I don't think it's any cause for concern for a while yet. Although it does feel strange
I'm a first time mum so I have nothing to compare it to. I'm having a C-section anyway, but not due to the position of the baby.
There are I think Facebook groups with advice on how to get babies to turn, and you'll get plenty of advice on here too.

My baby was transverse at 28 weeks, head down by 30. They’ve still got time to move now - and right the way up to around 36 weeks, although it gets harder!

I found transverse a lot more comfortable than head down, this way hurts! But I might just have a weird shaped body.
