Head down and then transverse at 34 weeks?!

Question

Baby was head down since week 31 ish but then I did some new stretches in week 34 and he ended up transverse! I’m so afraid to do anything and he seems to be trying (totally me transferring my hopes onto him) but can’t seem to stay put in the head down position. I’m gonna try the Spinning Babies stuff once I get my heartburn under control. I’m afraid my doctor is going to say C-Section without giving him a chance to flip back. Advice???

Answer

I don’t have much advice but I wanted to let you know the same exact thing is happening to me. I’m going to see a chiropractor on Tuesday that does Webster technique to help. However, my midwife said she’s not worried much until 37 weeks. Good luck and I really hope our babies go head down again!

Answer

Mine did the exact same thing. He was back head down a week later. There’s still time!

Answer

Same thing happened to me! Baby girl has been head down since 28 weeks and suddenly at 35 she’s transverse. My doctor seemed unconcerned at this point, but I’ve been doing things to try to open my hips up and give her room to go back head down (like sitting reverse on a chair/straddling it) and sitting on a ball and doing some hip rolls. Both were recommended in our birthing class. Spinning babies was also recommended. I’ve done a few exercises from the website, but I’m going to wait until my appointment tomorrow before trying anymore to see if the ball has helped.
Try to avoid sitting with your feet up in a recliner or on an ottoman - it sounds comfortable to just relax, but the nurse at birthing recommended when just relaxing watching tv, etc, to sit backwards on the chair with a pillow in front of you/over the top of the back to lean on instead.

Answer

How do you do the spinning baby stuff? I’m 34weeks and I don’t think my baby has turned, I go get an ultrasound Tuesday. I’m so terrified to get a c-section
