transverse lie at 37 weeks *help*

[gabyaby]

Hi, I'm 37 and a half weeks and hoping to have a home waterbirth. But baby has been oblique/transverse for the last few weeks. I really, really don't want a section!1 Any suggestions for how to get baby into a good position, words of encouragement?!

hi,theres always a chance that the baby might turn, but unlikely at this late stage, i dont know of any thing that can help im afraid, sorry i cant be of more use, will keep my fingers crossed though that your lo decides to turn, good luck

Both mine were very late tuners my ds was 37wks and my dd was at 38wks and with my dd I was booked in for a c-section. But I crawled about on my hands and knees for about 2days LOL and done pelvic rocking and one nite about 9pm I felt a weird popping noise and lots of movement, when I went to midwife next day baby was head down and third in the birth canal. That was over 2yrs ago now lol

DS was oblique. He had a huge head as well (measured by the paed for 5 days after birth) and afterwards the OB said there was no way I could have pushed him out (just as well, as I had no intentions!). He had to be ventoused out

I had an elective CS planned anyway.
