baby position

Almost 29 wks and the baby is still transverse, with the head on my right side and feet on left.  Its weird cause when I lay down, there's no bump above my belly button yet, just a mound below it.  Its laying so low, right at my pelvic bone; I thought it would have moved up and turned around by now.  Anyone else have experience with this position?

Both of my babies are transverse right now. They are lying in there like bunk beds - one on top of the other. I wouldnt worry too much about it yet. We still have time for the babies to flip. They move all of the time. Keep us updated :)

I'm right there with you. 28 weeks and I can literally poke my baby in the head on my right side just above my hip and my left hip gets kicked all day and all night by baby feet. I can see a hard round mass on the left side of my belly making my tummy lopsided lol silly baby head. Apparently they still have room to move for a couple more weeks. If not the drs an do a version where they gently push baby to roll into the correct position. Otherwise they suggest scheduling a csection. It is still possible that even at the last minute baby can flip and be head down. I know several people who even went in for a scheduled csection for a breech baby and baby had flipped on their own so they induced labor instead of doing the csection. I'll keep my fingers crossed that both our little ones flip!
