Baby Lying Sideways

I am 32.5 weeks along in my 2nd pregnancy (1st was a complication free vaginal delivery).

Since my 28 week appointment, my baby has been lying in a transverse position (head on my right, feet on my left). He is also very low. The Dr. also said I am measuring small, but most likely because of the way the baby is positioned.

What are the odds that my baby will turn? (My first was head down very early on, and stayed that way).

My Dr. recommended waiting until 36 weeks and then doing an ultrasound to see if there "is a reason he is lying sideways". Does this sound like the right approach?

I know placenta previa could be one reason (although at 20 weeks, my ultrasound showed the placenta in a good location). Are there any other complications that could cause the baby to stay in this position? Should I have an ultrasound earlier than 36 weeks?
