Transverse

At my last appointment, my doctor said my little girl was transverse. I was 33 weeks and she said she wasn't going to worry just yet but normally at that point, babies are in the birthing position. 35 weeks and she is still transverse. Did anyone else have this issue? Did your baby end up turning in time for a vaginal birth? I am going to be heart broken if I have to have a c.section.....

Transverse is a hard knew. They don't usually manually turn them. Sadly I 2012 I ended up with a section bc Of this. :-( I'm trying to.decide.if I want to go vbac or repeat. I've bad both a vaginal and c section so I know vaginal is way more painful  if easier recovery.  I just can't decide. I go in 3 days for a vbac consult. I'm 34+2

Cat/cow yoga positions help realign baby. Your doctor may also be able to turn the baby.

At 34weeks mine was head up.  By 36 weeks she was head down and now at 37 weeks she's fully got her fat head locked in birthing position causing me lots of pain.
