OK -- so LO is transverse (most of the time, occasionally breech and for a whole 3 days cephalic before he/she moved back) and my obstetrician wants to admit me to hospital if this doesn't change by 37 weeks. (Then she'll do a cs at 39 weeks if things don't change.)
They won't try ecv as the amniotic fluid is rather low and so is the placenta (probably what is putting LO off engaging). Am I foolish to try to negotiate not to be admitted at 37 weeks? (My last pregnancy ran to 41+3 and I'm not convinced the (scan) edd this time is right.)
The ob. is understandably worried about cord prolapse etc -- should I be? The hospital is 20 mins away... (And meanwhile DD is 16 months old and won't have a clue where her mum is and why, which is why I'm considering going against medical advice in the first place.)
