Transverse Lie at 37 weeks- any advice please?

[julesmb]

Hi all,

I am new to mums net - actually joined so that I could get advice from all you experienced people out there!

I am 37 weeks with my first baby and she's lying transverse - has been since about wk 30. Having read into the position today there are several things I am newly concerned about...

1. I haven't been told anything about it by the midwife and nobody has suggested an ultrasound to rule out placenta previa or find out why she might be in transverse lie - is this usual?
2. I am already booked in for c section at 38.5 weeks due to spinal problems, but have read that if my waters break I would have to call an ambulance as its potentially dangerous to baby - this has not been mentioned by my midwife either - is it true?
3. It seems that transverse lie can cause problems for the baby like hip displacement or squashed head etc - does anybody have experience of their baby lying this way and did they come out healthy? I know I sound like I'm panicking but you know what its like.. could just do with some reassurance.

Any advice really greatly appreciated and best of luck to everyone with their pregnancies!!

Hi Everyone

I have known for a week or so now that my baby is laying Transverse, I am 33 weeks pregnant. He is lying head to the right side, bum to the left with his back facing my chin. When he kicks it feels like I have wind as he?s kicking low down in by stomach. At my 20 weeks scan they found a curvature in his spine 20 %(Sclerosis) and I am now worried that him lying Transverse will effect this even more. I go for my 34 week scan in 2 weeks, should I go get checked earlier? as they may be able to turn/move him before he get any bigger?

my baby was transverse right up until 39 weeks when she suddenly turned I was in hospital for a week on bed rest so they could try to turn her

she is perfectly fine I was induced once she had turned and had a natural birth

I was induced purely because she could turn back and had been doing

Thanks for you message. Im reading other messages relating to Transverse and dont know what to make of it at all..... what weight was ur daughter?
