WIll she ever turn?

Transverse seems to be Kendall's position of choice. I was hoping for different news at my 33week OB appointment. So here's the plan...positioning check at 35 weeks, if she's still transverse, then an ultrasound at 36 weeks to confirm and check reasons for not turning. If by then the ultrasound confirms her transverse position STILL, then I can opt for a External Cephalic Version (ECV). External version is generally done around 37 weeks. This procedure is performed in a hospital with fetal monitoring, ultrasound, and IV medications to relax the uterus and turn the baby. The risk factor is preterm labor and emergency c-section. OR I play the waiting game??? If Kendall doesn't turn on her own then I'm going to be up for a c-section anyways.
SO, wish me luck! In the meantime, I'm researching at home ways to get her to turn!
