Hey guys, I posted a couple of weeks ago as my baby was transverse. I'm now 37 weeks tomorrow and the situation has slightly improved in that now sometimes they're head down and will engage somewhat but sometimes, at least once a day for maybe 20 mins or so their head will pop out of being engaged and then sit more on my left hip so they are more diagonal or oblique as they call it.
I've been told it's as this is my second baby and my muscles are quite badly seperated so I guess they're loose enough for the baby to engage and then shift it's head back out again and this can be quite common in second/third pregnancies etc 😬
I'm just wondering if anyone's had something similar or an unstable lie? Am I just defined for an early c section or do babies suddenly start behaving and just stay put?
It's starting to get me a bit down as my midwife has told me I have to monitor it's movements and do what I can to keep it head down but unless I stand up all the time I can't do that and I don't want to be admitted as I already have a 3 year old and very limited child care 😏 just getting fed up now from a pregnancy which has been stressful as it is from covid etc
Ps sorry for the moan 😊 xx
