Transverse Lie?

Question

Does anyone else have a stubborn baby in transverse lie? Mine has been there since before 20 weeks, and my doctor said that if by my scan at 28 weeks he hasn't moved we will likely have him via c-section. I have an anterior placenta so we can't do a manual version. Anyone maybe know some pointers for getting baby to naturally move head down?

Answer

I think the spinning babies may have actually worked!!! I won't know until my next scan on the 24th but I was actually feeling pelvic pressure today and his kicks were higher in my ribs instead of straight out the side. Fingers crossed!

Answer

There are yoga poses you can do to help encourage the baby to move. Failing that, if you're open to it there are chiropractors that specialize in prenatal and may be able to help. Good luck!

Answer

DD1 was transverse until about 34 weeks. My doctor had told me then that if she hadn't changed positions by 36 then we would discuss a c-section. I think 28 weeks is really early to start talking about a c-section.. Babies can flip at any point of pregnancy, even during labor. This babe is transverse as well, but she is very active and changes positions often so I won't worry until it gets closer to my due date.

Answer

Get on spinning babies! It will help you guide your baby head down. Don't take those threats seriously yet! There is time. Besides a version can be attempted if something more is needed to turn baby before a c section should even be discussed. Good luck!

Answer

My baby goes between breech and transverse. I'm hoping she'll turn head down in the next several weeks.

Answer

I may be wrong but I thought most babies will turn and stay head down by 36 weeks. 28 weeks seems very early to make that determination that you will need a csection.  Also there are several things that can be done to get the baby in the best position. Including ECV, the Miles Circuit and inversions. Our baby goes back and forth between transverse lie and head down. She still has a lot room to move. At 25 weeks I'm not the least bit worried about her position.

Answer

I was this baby for my mom. They tried to manually turn me as well and it failed miserably. Hopefully your baby isn't as stubborn. 🙉🙈

Answer

Pretty sure my little guy was in that position at my 20 week scan too. At just over 27 weeks, it feels like he has moved to a more vertical position since I am pretty sure he's hanging out under my right rib. I guess we'll see at my doctor's appt next week. I wouldn't be too concerned yet. Babies move all the time and still have room to do so.

Answer

Mine was laying like that at my 20 week scan and my Dr said it's normal. They move a ton before delivery and there is plenty of movement before that day so not to worry about it.

Answer

I'm 26 weeks & he lays all types of ways. I was actually googling this last night because of how uncomfortable I was. I read that it's normal up to about 26 weeks & by 28 weeks they start to run out of room to lay like that so they will flip automatically. He mostly is head down but he lays anyway he can, he is constantly moving. But I know that it's normal for them to keep changing positions until you get closer to delivery so I'm not worried about it. It's just so uncomfortable when he lays like that.
