Default transverse babies?

At my last appointment (just a day before 32 weeks) dr noted that baby seemed to be transverse. DD was head down from conception so I haven't a whole lot of reference with transverse at this point in the game. I know babe can still shift but at what point (read week) does it become a concern for the delivery?
Is anyone else's LO in the same position?

I am pretty sure my baby girl is transverse right now. Jack was the same way and then turned at around 36 weeks. So I am not concerned. I am going to mention it to my doctor this week though and see what he thinks. I wouldn't worry though. That is coming from a mom who's babies never seem to be head down till the last possible second! LOL!!

They can turn up until you're well into labor., which is why a c/s for breech before labor starts is kinda ridiculous (especially b/c it robs them of that initial hormone cocktail that they get at the start of labor).

So, you've got a LONG while yet. Just yesterday, 2e was head down in the morning, breech in the afternoon, and two different sides of transverse... I had hiccups on my left and right side! Having a baby transverse after labor starts is *extremely* rare so I wouldn't worry

At my 3D at 28 weeks my baby was breech. At 31 weeks, my OB said he was head down. I wouldn't worry.

I wouldn't be worried. I know my girl is usually head down but she does like to get transverse and man oh man can that be ouchy! She is really stretching me out.

With this pregnancy I haven't even paid attention to that since I know I'm having a c-section. But I know women that their babies have turned very late in the pregnancy.
