STMs: transverse laying baby: when did they turn ??

Jennyc00 · June 2014

Hi! I'm a FTM. Little junior is 22 weeks now and is laying transverse- with head to my right side and feet to the left. I have mild placenta previa which I've read may influence this position. Also read this position is considered normal at this point with they hope baby turns by 30 weeks.

STMs: when did your transverse baby turn?? He seems to be low transverse as I feel all kicks several inches below my belly button. I think it's causing more back pain since the weight isn't more balanced. I hope he gets squirmy and goes head down soon!

DD was transverse until about 32-33 weeks. Well, at least that was the appointment where she finally went head down. At 28 weeks the little stinker was still sideways.

I'm pretty sure both my boys were all over the place up until 30ish weeks. Then they flipped head down and stayed head down the rest of the pregnancy.

DS flipped over a number of times, but finally stayed head down around 35 weeks. It's still really early for them to "settle" into a position.

You might consider seeing a Webster certified chiropractor for some adjustments. Chiropractors can be very helpful in encouraging babies to move into an ideal position for birth...and they can help you have a more comfy pregnancy in general.

Babies really can turn at any point. My son was in that position until 35 weeks. He then Turned head down and in position. Then a couple days before my due date he returned to a frank breech position.

At that age, they can move around quite a bit. During my u/s yesterday, the baby went from head down to transverse multiple times. Still plenty of time to go head down for good (usually 30-something weeks I think).

It's really not a big deal yet. Our little girl is breeched and has been that way since 15 weeks. The OB said it's not a big deal and that they'll probably turn on their own.

My first stayed transverse even with a verison (not something I recommend). My 2nd was head down by 32 weeks.

I wouldn't worry one bit at that point. Baby will continue to flip and flop and do acrobatics in there for a while. DS turned head down and stayed that way around 33 or so.

Before 34-35 weeks, babies have a lot of room to move about so there is no concern about their positioning. I wouldn't worry about it at all at this point. Usually around 30-34 weeks they start getting in position and then it become harder after 35 weeks for them to move about. It still happens though so I really wouldn't give it much thought at 22 weeks.
