Trasverse versus head down baby

Okay all you prayer warriors out there - I went in for my 37 week appointment yesterday to find out that baby boy (who was comfortably in a head down position at 36 weeks) has shifted into a completely transverse position. For those of you that don't know what that is, it means he's completely sideways across my belly versus the head down position he should be settling in to.

Now, I know there's still time, but time is starting to run out as is space! I have been doing everything possible that I know to do to set myself up for a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) and was frustrated by this latest piece of information. My midwife informed me that if I did go in to labor on my own and baby was still in a transverse position they would schedule a c-section versus allowing for an external version because of my previous c-section. Again, I know there is still time and I'm trusting the Lord for the ultimate outcome (whatever it is!) but I sure would love to be able to have a successful VBAC...or at least be able to attempt it!

So.......any prayers that you think about, albeit minor in the big picture I know, I would appreciate.
