Does anyone know what a transverse breech feels like?

[withorwithoutyou]

Am 34 weeks pregnant and baby always kicks in the same place on the right hand side. When it has hiccups they are on the left hand side, about level with my belly button.

Have never had any kicks higher than belly button level but I remember with DD (head down) having much higher kicks.

Has anyone had a transverse lie and know what it feels like?

Mine was breech, then transverse from 30 to 37 weeks - the transverse lie was very uncomfortable, I had kicks on one side and could feel a definite hard head on the other side. My bump also looked quite weird, it was very wide.

Have you seen your midwife? What does she think? Mine told me to get down on all fours with my bum higher than my chest - it obviously worked as at 37 weeks bubs eventually turned head down. 38+3 now and hoping it stays that way!

Mine wiggled tranverse for a few days. Bump was a VERY odd shape, flat and wide and I could feel bum/ head clearly on each side.

Thanks both,

Haven't got a m/w appt til next week so will get her to check then. I just wondered if it was the reason for my awful back pain - bump feels very long, wide and flat.

low, wide and flat!

Don't know if you watch Family Guy, but my friend who had a transverse lie described her bump as being "shaped like Stewie Griffin's head"...

dd was transverse for one day at 28 weeks while she flipped head down and i've never been so uncomfortable in my life, it felt like she was wedged and every movement she made hurt. bump was odd looking too, you could see her lying across me.

Was very relieved when she dislodged herself and went head down!
