I tried the spinning babies website and I had just about given up on my baby turning as she was transverse posterior when my daughter turned right at the end in the middle of the night and YOWCH it hurt!! Within a few days I had masses of stretchmarks too from the move being so quick. I think I was 37 weeks, 5 days or maybe it was later then that? All the best!!
Not sure about the fibroid aspect of it but I can give you my experience of the transverse.
DS was breech - head stuck between my placenta and ribcage. Unable to be turned. Foetal distress during vaginal birth attempt.CS at 7cm dilated.
DD - transverse most of the pregnancy Acupuncture 3 times. Moved to breech at nearly 38 weeks and then flipped head down just prior to an ECV. The few stretchmarks on the right abdomen at hip level testament to her rapid flip down!! VBAC after a 4 hour labour - 2.5 hours from 2cm to out.
With the fibroid - it depends on the size as to whether it will impact on the position of the baby and on your chance at a VBAC. Good luck!!
