Hi,
I am 32 weeks pregnant and throughout my pregnancy I have had a constantly transverse baby. I have been advised that due to the 'estimated size' of the baby (done by feel alone) that it is unlikely the baby will turn. The midwife says there is no point measuring for birth size as there is no possible way of getting an accurate measure. I have a growth scan booked for 35 weeks but she has warned me that the doctor will put pressure on me to have an ECV - which I do not want as there is a risk of early onset labour.
I think that if the baby is still transverse I would like to push for a c-section at 39 weeks - any tips for speaking to scary consultants and voicing a valid argument for no ECV and a c-section appreciated.
