Stubborn baby?

So I'm just shy of 29 weeks and my baby boy is transverse. I know he has plenty of time to switch positions but my concern is that he's not interested in doing so lol.  I know that babies change positions constantly when they're still small but I'm telling you, ever since he was big enough to feel he has not moved from his transverse position. I never even feel movement too far above my belly button. He has always been very low this pregnancy as well. My mom is shocked. I have read that sometimes if your abdominal muscles are too loose and/or your pelvis is constantly out of place(which mine is constantly) then your baby won't be able to turn and fit properly. Anyone experience this or a transverse baby?

Thanks I will..my sister in law had that done but her baby was just feet first not transverse. It also didn't work for her...something about the umbilical cord being too short or something. Good luck to you too!

Some suggestions would be to go on all fours and sway your hipsto try to get its butt out of your pelvis and the weight of the head going down also to visit the chiropractor. I'm 29 weeks too and hoping this baby will figure it out- I've been told when he gets a little bigger it will be easier for the head to go down cuz it will be heavier than the other end... but I am also worried since he is sitting super low and his head sticks out at my belly button ( so uncomfortable). Let me know how things go- if you are still like this at the end you can have an external cephalic version to turn your baby (my sister had it done and it worked so she could have her baby vaginally)
