What should I do if my baby is in a breech transverse position?
Artificial Intelligence Health Assistant's Answer

If your baby is in a breech transverse position, it means that they are facing your back instead of being head down. While this position is not ideal for vaginal delivery, there are several things you can do to encourage your baby to turn. Firstly, try different positions such as kneeling or leaning forward to create more space for your baby to move. You can also try exercises like pelvic tilts or swimming to help with the positioning. Additionally, consider seeking the help of a healthcare professional who specializes in fetal positioning techniques such as chiropractors or acupuncturists. They may be able to provide specific guidance and techniques to encourage your baby to turn. It's important to remember that many babies will naturally turn on their own before labor begins, so try not to worry too much at this stage. However, if your baby remains in the breech transverse position closer to your due date, discuss with your healthcare provider about potential options such as external cephalic version (ECV) or cesarean section delivery.

How far along are you? My 1st pregnancy I was 37 wks before he finally went head down... I even had scheduled c- section in case here was still breach, but he flipped before last scan.  :) As long as you're not close ro delivery, being beach is ok for now  :)
