Version: If malpresentation persists at 37 weeks, an external version may be attempted where the provider places hands on the abdomen and attempts to guide the baby into the proper position. There can be complications, so this should be done in a hospital with fetal monitoring and the ability to perform a csection if necessary.

Caution: A transverse lie this late in pregnancy can signal the possibility of a contracted pelvis or fibroids that are blocking the opening to the uterus or other possibilities. Please get a good ultrasound to confirm all is well.
