    I'm not sure how you handle things so I can only talk for myself. I'd need to be positive at this time. I'd say to myself that the OB was relaxed and the IM hasn't said no. No need to worry about free birth/ surgery yet. You are only 33 weeks, plenty of time for a million things to change. If we all focused on everything that could stop us then we'd probably all just book in for an elective CS..... I don't want to come across at all insensitive. I just also don't want you spiralling down into the perfect position to just "do as you are told". The games not over yet....

    Plenty of fight in me left! Got to get bubs out of transverse as my midwife explained the uterus is stretching the wrong way
    Off to do my spinning babies exercizes!

    my mates baby was transverse right up until 39 weeks and now is happily head down and they are back to their plans of vaginal birth there is plenty of time! spinning babies is awesome for inspiration!

    can you request to have scans done weekly or whatever for the placenta? I am sure that there could be positive changes! maybe if bubs moves from transverse it might positively impact on the positioning of placenta to the cervix?? maybe??

    My two hb babies changed positions late. DD2 was head down from 38? weeks, but at 41 weeks +3 days turned transverse for a couple of hours before turning head down again and then labour started.

    thinking good thoughts for you kellbell.

    Eeeeeeekkkkkkkk think my private midwife just ditched me !
    Can't ring her as at work but she sent a message sounding like she was transferring care back to the hospital


    I have another scan in 2 weeks at 35 weeks to check the placenta
