flipping transverse baby?

I'm 36+4 and at my appointment today I found out my baby moved from the head down position and is now transverse. Its weird because I had an ultrasound 5 days ago and the baby was head down. I'm being induced at 37+3 and my doctor is going to try and flip the baby that morning. I'm just wondering if anyone successfully had a transverse or breach baby flipped?

Thank you. I appreciate the input. My doctor said it would be painful and she wants to give me an epidural before trying but I'm concerned about it harming my baby. She never told me about any possible complications or anything. Either way I think I feel my baby's head under my ribs now. Its not on my side like earlier today anymore so I'm pretty sure baby is breech. Hoping baby turns back into head down position by itself..

My baby boy is also transverse, they said at 36 weeks they would do an ultrasound too see if he change positions. But my Dr also told me that they could try and flip him but there is a good possibility that they could hurt him. Like snapping his neck, tangling him up or other things. I haven't heard a of a good story other then its the most painful thing a women could go through. I'm not trying to scary you but this is my 4th baby and I never had a c section and I would do it so they can't hurt my baby boy. Good luck. I hope the best for you and your baby.
