good morning everyone yet another question to ask any one would think this is my first pg.
last week i went to see the midwife at queen charlottes and chelsea hospital and i explained to the midwife that i thought that this baby was laying in the breech postion currently 30+5 wks she ask me why explained that i have really bad kicks in my fanjo and that they really hurt .
well she just looked at me like i was mad and said no your be fine what makes you think that so i said when i had my scan at 22 wks the baby was footing breech and i dont think that it has moved.so she agreed to examine me not that i have been waitng for 2 hrs just to see the midwife and please dont do me any favours
so she started having a feel and said no i cant feel baby head engaged so she carried on out come the tape measure measuring 2wks larger than normal then she got the doppler out and listened to baby heart low and behold baby heartbeat is right by my belly button midwife then has another feel and says this baby is lying across your belly dont worry it will probably move .i was talking to a friend of mine today and she said are you sure that it is not laying transverse so any mumnetters out there with any advice or experience to help

thanks in advance

Seems like the bub is transverse but at 30 weeks it has loads of time to turn! Mine was breech until 37 weeks - I had loads of kicks down below, like you - and then it turned all by itself.

Yep and sometimes a bit unexpected! The times I had to rush to the loo straight away!
