Transverse

The baby is lying sideways in the womb)

I am currently 32 weeks with my second baby and he's moved into a transverse position. My midwife isn't optimistic about the chances of him moving head down as he is quite a big baby, and seems to be quite "wedged in" at the minute as I have a hard lump at each side of my bump! I'm trying lots of different things to move him such as pelvic tilts, using gym ball and having reflexology. What are the chances of him still moving at this stage? Any other advice/tips on how to move him myself? What are the chances of an ECV being successful with a transverse baby (I am not at all keen on the idea of one!)?
I'm approaching 33 weeks pregnant and my baby is still not head down - the midwife suspects he is lying transversely. I have been told to do a few exercises, and if this doesn't work then the doctors can turn the baby at 36 or 37 weeks. Is this safe?
What happens if my baby is transverse and doctors try to move it and it still doesnt move?
