Also a chiropractor can help baby move. Mine helps. I went to one almost my whole pregnancy. They can also get your body ready for labor

With you being so close to your due date I'm shocked they haven't said anything. Baby can't be delivered vaginally as the body is too large and won't fit that way, so if you went into labour and he is still traverse you would have an emergency c-section. It's important you call them (like tomorrow) and discuss your options and what he intends to do.

If baby is traverse at 39 weeks, you are at high chance of having a c-section done. Has your doctor said anything about doing a version to try and move the baby, or positions you can try to coax baby head down?

Yes. If you're 39 weeks baby should be head down. Try looking up ways you can coax baby to turn sideways. There's different exercises to make baby turn.
If baby doesn't turn by the time you're in labor, you'll have to get a c section.
