So Today I am 28 weeks and 3 days preggo and I had another midwife appointment.
I’ve been feeling extremely uncomfortable for about week now and was looking forward to speaking to the midwife to see if this was normal at this stage.
During my examination where she feels the baby, measures my bump and listens to the heartbeat, I made the mistake of asking what position my little on is in. Turns out part of the reason for my discomfort is that Baby B is currently Transverse.

Basically, it is laying across my tummy horizontally rather than head down, vertically. I have a head in one hip and a bum in another! GAH!
I was pleased as at least I knew my why the sides of my bump felt so uncomfortable, but felt mildly panicked as if the baby stays in this position, I won’t be able to give birth naturally, which terrifies me.
I was re-assured baby still has plenty of time to turn, so I’ll try and stay optimistic and hope that baby gets a wriggle on and moves out of my hips!
Hey hun it's lh86 from babyexpert. Hope u n the other mommas r ok, I'm not on FB so I don't speak to anyone really. My girl was breech at 30 weeks 3 days n now at 34+1 is transverse so hoping she's on the turn. Do not want a c sec no way not when I've got a 4 yr old to run about after! Hope ur all good anyway chick x
ReplyDeleteWent to the gynae and he told me the same. The head is on the right and the legs are on the left. I'm 26 weeks
ReplyDeleteI was also like this at 25 and now I am almost 33 and she is in the same position :/
ReplyDeleteDont worry too much about it hey. I was you last year. I gave natural birth to a healthy energetic little man. The baby does turn. Some baby turn on the day of delivery. Its something you shouldnt stress about. Give it a week. Also do try some exercises if you still stressing. Just google (exercises to turn babys position) theres alot of sites you will come across. But again, don't stress.
