Hi Jassy,
My cousin recently asked me the same question and I complied a list of
resources from her also, i predominately got them from Joyous Birth. It is
never to late for a baby to turn, some turn in labour :)
Hope this helps.

Methods of Turning Breech Babies
a.. Acupuncture
b.. Moxa Sticks
c.. swimming,
d.. cold peas low on the abdomen
e.. Chiropractic manipulation (Webster's technique), (must have experience
with working with pregnant women)
f.. Visualisation (imagine baby turning)
g.. talking to baby,
h.. playing music low on the abdomen,
i.. Turning somersaults in a pool.
j.. Lying on an ironing board (or other flat surface) that is tilted so feet
are higher than head.
k.. Some believe that babies turn breech when their mother is sad; the baby
puts its head up next to its mum's heart to comfort her. Is an emotional issue
getting in the way? If so you might have to work through it to turn baby.
l.. Reflexology (a simple technique on the toes) There is a reflexologist
here is Theodore, someone Smoothy.
m.. Yoga, Pilates
n.. Relax!
o.. Ob can do a external cephalic version

Subject: [ozmidwifery] Transverse baby
Hi to all,
I would just like to say thanks for all the responses I received to me
previous questions on Strep B. I now have another issue I would appreciate any
advise on.
I am coming up to 35 weeks pregnant and the baby is still lying transverse.
Should I be worried about this? It is my second baby.
I have started hypnobirthing and I am aware this may help and will have a
session of acupuncture next week but in the experience of a midwife is there
still plenty of time for the baby to move down? At my last appointment with the
midwives a week ago they said I still had plenty of room.
Is it normal for babies to make this sudden turn in the last coupled of weeks?
Kind Regards,
Jassy
