Has anyone ever had your doctor turn your baby? My baby is transverse and if he hasnt turned by Wednesday then they're going to turn him. Anyone who's had this happen, whats it like? Is it really painful??!

Well im 36 weeks thats why they're going to try and turn him cause they like to do,it by 37 weeks so theres still room. Im starting to get nervous. I saw online where it can cause you to go into labor and i heard a couple cases of it causing the umbilical cord to get wrapped around the babys neck. Ive already had 2 babies naturally and i really dont want to have a csection but i dont want to hurt my baby either.

My baby it's transverse too, but the doctors never mentioned moving her.  They just said in a few weeks they would check on her again.

I haven't but I had a friend whose baby was breech and they tried to turn her. It started her labor immediately and she said she wished she could have had an epidural for it. Baby didn't turn and she ended up getting a c section anyway but she felt safer doing that. I guess get mom delivered a breech baby that was stillborn and she didn't want to risk it.

No idea. He was head down, but they say hes going to be bigger and I was having a ton of rib pain so im thinking maybe he ran out of room and turned. Hes laying likes hes in a hammock. Back against my hips.
