Anyone Have A Transverse Baby?

 If they haven't moved, did you or will you schedule a c-section or just wait and see what happens at the time of delivery?

I know it is still early ( I am close to 29 weeks) and she could move at any time, but I had my daughter at 36 weeks and delivered her breech ( didn't know she was breech)..........so I  guess I am just nervous that this baby won't turn in time......whenever she decides to come

Um OUCH!  There is no doc around here that does breech deliveries anymore...  Right now, she's head down but if it changes for some reason, then unfortunately, it will be a c-section.

Well, the idiot of a nurse said she thought she was head down, and she was wrong! So, I started pushing and they realized she was breech and luckily the on call doctor was able to pull her out safely.

You are early and she has plenty to time to move.  Mine is now head down ready to go and I am trying to keep it in!

He was transverse at 30 weeks, but has turned head down.  Not sure how long he will stay that way.  If not, I would hope to try for an external version, then c-section if that didn't work.

I have a transverse baby & he's been that way forever. My OB went ahead & scheduled a C this week - I didn't want to do the version.

Most likely your LO will turn, but according to my OB, transverse is a rare position for baby to be in past 35 -36 weeks. I read somewhere they are more likely to flip to breech than head down too.

I doubt they'd let you go into labor. There are higher risks w/ transverse babies than breech - uterine rupture is one, & the rate of umbilical cord prolapse is higher too. My OB scheduled my C section for the beginning of my 39th week.
