Transverse baby 33 weeks

[mumlife13]

Has anyone had experience with baby going between breach and transverse at 33 weeks?

Obviously not overly concerned because baby still has time to move! But it's so uncomfortable! What can I do to try and help him move?

Evening. I just wondered how the ladies from this thread got on? I’m currently 34+2 and pretty sure baby has moved from breech to transverse.

@Chichz yeah I was bouncing at first but then I saw it wasn't recommend so I switched to rounded movements!

Aww thank you so much, so kind!

[Chichz]

@Beau2020 Aww thanks so much for sharing! Just watched it. I'm really enjoying using my ball, though didn't know about the bouncing, eek!

Also, your bump is amazing! So glamorous at 35 weeks. X

@Chichz I did a video on some of the postures I used if youre interested!

[Chichz]

@blue122 Wow! Bet it's good to have the scan though and see what's going on. I think it's bizarre that we don't normally have one for nearly 5 months before giving birth!

Will need to read a bit more about moxibustion. I've heard of it but don't know much. Hope it's not too uncomfortable... x

@Chichz scan is showing he is already weighing 6 pounds, I'm 34+2. His head and abdominal measurements are off the charts by quite a bit! Very big still breech baby!

I am going to the hospital next Friday for moxibustion to try and help him turn following my scan today. They said they would rather it be sooner but that's the first available appointment!

Around 35 weeks. I didn't do anything to encourage it at all other than sleeping on my left side.

[Chichz]

Hopefully the scan will give you some definite answers and then you can plan! Fingers crossed for you. Let us know! X

@Chichz I've got a ball and is doing absolutely nothing for my stubborn baby!!😩 been bouncing on it for a few weeks and he's not interested 😂 beginning to lose hope as he's been wedged in the same position for weeks on end and doesn't ever seem to change at my appointments! I'm going for a scan today for growth so I'll let you all know if he's massive and that's why he's not moving 😁🤣

My baby was transverse the morning of my labour starting, although no one noticed. I was told I wasn't pushing hard enough by a midwife who said she was going to get a doctor to see me. Oh yes panic stations started then, resulting in an emergency c section. It was all a nightmare, I wish I had complained but I didn't as I was relieved to have my much wanted baby after 3 miscarriages. This was 22 years ago (she was fine) so I really hope things have changed a lot since back then.!

[Chichz]

@Beau2020 Brilliant news! That will encourage me to keep going with it, haha. Tried some bounces last night but need to get my head round this 'hugging the ball' position now...

If anyone else is trying a ball, I found this useful to get me started, especially the 'Simple Exercises' section: www.emmasdiary.co.uk/pregnancy-and-birth/3rd-trimester-pregnancy/the-benefits-of-a-birthing-ball.

@chichz love it!! You honest won't regret it, I absolutely love mine! Yoga mat was just for stretching but I have really done any stretches as it's so uncomfortable now. Had a midwife checkup today and baby is still head down 🙌

[OldLace]

My first was breech and emergency Csec.
My 2nd, I booked a water birth - ha!
Transverse, all the way, so a 2nd Csec.
Good luck!

[Chichz]

Ahhhhh ladies, what are these little monkeys like! Fingers crossed, and please keep us updated.

Got my ball ready!

[blue122]

@dancingonmycervix when did your baby turn to head down? 😊

[dancingonmycervix]

I was transverse at 31 weeks and head down for birth at 40 weeks. I wouldn't panic yet.

[blue122]

@Missdrifter oh no!! They definitely are trouble makers 🤦‍♀️ let me know how your scan goes! I need to research the ECV. I didn't get a leaflet, really don't know how I feel about it! Let me know anything you read that looks scary 🤣

[Missdrifter]

@blue122 snap!! I have been given a leaflet on c sections and the EVC to look through before my scan next week! Trouble makers already aren’t they 🤣

[blue122]

Had my appointment today and he is still breach! So a scan next week to see what he's doing and then apparently we will make a plan from there. Nightmares aren't they 😳

[Chichz]

@CoolNoMore That's hilarious .

I'm sure we already know how mischievous our little ones are going to be!

[CoolNoMore]

Last week I was 33 weeks and DS2 was merrily flipping between tranverse and breech, which was very uncomfortable. Happily, I bought a fitness ball and he's now head down. I didn't actually do anything with the ball btw... just bought it. He turned the same day. Little crapper.

[Chichz]

@Umberta I know the feeling! Definitely got used to spending my evenings lounging now...

Carpet isn't slippery at all so hopefully I'll be fine. It's more the room, as poor DH has taken over the lounge WFH! Ah well.

Let's hope we get some more good news from people in the coming days. x

[Umberta]

@chichz can't go wrong at that price, hope you like it! To answer your other q, I don't think you need a yoga mat under it, but I have hard floors so I'm not sure how slidey your carpet is. But yoga mat is good for kneeling and things! I keep meaning to do more kneeling in front of the tv rather than lounging 😅 but the sofa is just so inviting...

[Chichz]

@Umberta @Beau2020 Have just ordered one from Argos - only £8 and comes with a pump! Can't go wrong. It's just an exercise ball. I do hate how some companies will try to charge the world for 'specialist' maternity and baby things! X

[Umberta]

Ps I didn't use anything cold no, although I do use hot water bottles when the braxton hicks is painful. I second getting a ball (yeah they come with a cheapo pump) although it hasn't done much for moving her, it's just so comfy to sit on and helps with back pain etc xx
