my ehhhhhh 34w appt.
Jack is measuring 5lb. 5oz at 34 weeks  50th percentile BUT all of a sudden, he's transverse with his head on my right side and legs on the left. Since I can remember, he has been anterior and head down  
also, my fluid level is "very high" which is most likely the reason he flipped. They dont seem to know why my fluid has increased and arent worried since all the 12w and 16w tests came back perfect ...
so, now we wait and monitor him weekly. i was told that if he is still transverse at 36 weeks, I can go to the hospital and they will try to "manipulate" him to a head down position. with high fluid, that doesnt mean he will stay head down. the other option is to go back to the hospital at 38 weeks (if he has flipped again) and rotate/induce at the same time 
so, thats my story.  I lost the three pounds I gained last week (im pretty sure it was swelling) and he has HAIR, tons! we could see it on sono   
anyone else transverse around 34 weeks and end up delivering vaginally?

Re: my ehhhhhh 34w appt.
I think there is time to turn. My baby was breech and turned at 37 weeks.
My fluid is high too. Is that bad?

no, I was told its "idiopathic" no reason for it. sometimes it just happens. with more fluid, there is more space to free-float making it harder for them to engage head down I wasnt told about the extra fluid until this week and he has been head down up until this week which makes me think it happened recently
