Should I call my doctor if I think my baby moved from head down to transverse?

Question

I woke up with a lot of pressure on my sides and relief in my pelvis. I’m 38 weeks and wondering if the baby moved to transverse last night. 
Of course I googled and now am worried of a prolapsed cord occurring. Baby is still active but wondering if this is worth a call to the doc in advance of my Wednesday appointment?

Answer

I wouldn’t worry. My baby is transverse and my doctor didn’t schedule my c-section for sooner.. just said if I think I’m in labor to go to the ER asap and let them know baby is transverse

Answer

Baby can keep moving position for a while still so I personally wouldn't worry

Answer

I wouldn’t worry- enjoy the lack of pressure in your pelvis. 😊 I have had baby girl move in and out of my pelvis several times in the last couple weeks. They always do a quick feel when you come in to see where Baby is at and if they thought she was transverse they’d do a quick ultrasound to verify before having you labour/push etc.
