Baby transverse lay

[SamanthaH92]

I'm almost 29 weeks and baby is transverse lay. I am so so so uncomfortable tonight. I also have SPD. She has been laid like this for weeks and weeks. I can barley bend over or lean certain ways and i can feel her in my left hip. DD1 was breach but i don't recall it being uncomfortable. Anyone the same? Or when did your baby turn if so?

Thats my worry now too. I only live 2 streets away from the hospital but still. We DTD tonight and i think she has moved now but not sure to what position. Her feet seem to be on the other side of where they were xx

My youngest was transverse until 38 weeks. His head was wedged I not my left hip for ages, but I didn’t have any of the pain others have talked about here.

I had a few positioning scans towards the end, with a view to keeping me in hospital, but he always shifted into the right place for the scan (and then back again afterwards). He was born at 39 weeks with a fairly quick and straightforward labour.

Because he’d spent so little time engaged, and because of his odd positioning against my hip, he dodo have a perfectly tound head (apparently spending time head down and in the pelvis elongates the head a bit), and a completely flat ear when he was born. It soon looked more ear-shaped, but he had about a week of this funny looking flat ear.

Mine is transverse at 29 weeks, too. I've got horrible stretching pains round the bottom of my bump. Didn't realise it could be dangerous though!

Yes, my DD was born with a perfectly round head as she was never engaged. Consultant came to see me as it was a quite unusual birth. I had a student midwife too and she was told she'd probably never see another like it

I'm also 29 weeks with a transverse. I think she moved over the weekend as my sciatica disappeared afte a rough night on Friday night but it's back again today. I have a growth scan again on Thursday so what's the betting she's back transverse again.

I've been trying to lie on my left side so she's bottom down, rather than head down at night, in the hope I'm more comfortable. We're hoping for a home birth if this pregnancy doesn't go high risk so I'm damned if I'm going to be scuppered because she fancies staying transverse. Come on baby, I need you to shift in the next 6 weeks or so.

We DTD the other night and I'm not 100% but i think she has moved. I can bend down and move easier now. Although i have taken it more easy yesterday and today so I'm not sure. I have midwife next week so I'll ask her to feel for her then. I do find this time around very different. I am having extra growth scans but not once has a midwife messured my bump or anything. They just check my urine. Checked heartbeat once and sent me on my way xx

Mine don’t even dip my urine. I’ve had a visit at ten weeks and one just now at 25. They did a fingerprick POC for sugar and that was it. Very hands off here

Oh gosh thats very hands off. They always test my urine. Blood pressure most of the time. I think i saw the midwife more the first time round. I see her next at 30 weeks but then after that i think i just see the consultant x

I really wouldn't worry about this, I'm 34 weeks and my baby is still in a transverse lay but there's still loads of time for it to move, midwife not concerned and neither am I. The only discomfort I'm really having is when I sleep because whichever side I lay on it seems one end of them is digging into the bed and prompts them to move about a lot which is uncomfortable. If you're really uncomfortable I can get why that's bothering you but in terms of safety and them moving position, only like 1% of babies are still transverse at term and you've got absolutely ages yet for them to move so there's no need to worry about that at this stage.
