freaking out - transverse???

[~clover~]

Cheeky bubba. Stressing you out now!
Maybe you should check out the spinning babies website. Get down on your hands & knees & scrub the floor!
Just don't forget that it is possible to birth breech, bottom first. Not sure how it'll affect your home birth though.

Just for some confidence, a friend of mine was told her twins would need to be delivered via c-section coz one was breech, but then at almost every appointment they switched places.
We really thought by 36 weeks there would be no room left for them to turn in that tiny belly of hers soon, but they both headed downwards around then & were born vaginally at 37+4.
There is plenty of time left yet

Chiro might be hard at this stage if you've never seen one before as they prefer to have x-rays to work with, but I highly recommend Bowen Therapy - my practicioner treats a lot of women for malpositioned babies with great success so maybe see if you can find one in your area? Also get onto the spinning babies website for tips as well

I started seeing a chiro when I was ovulating so opted not to have an x-ray just in case (which was good as I conceived that ovulation) and there has never been a problem.

I can also ditto what Cover says about babies turning in the least likely of spaces, as my 2nd twin was breech until a few hours before I went into labour.

My baby just turned from breech to cephalic last week (35 weeks) I wouldn't be worried just yet You can try some things from the spinning babies site, they can't hurt.

Dont stress yet plenty of time for baby to turn to cephalic.

Avoid slouching on couch. Hands and knees, fit ball, sit back wards on a dining table chair can all help.

DD was transverse, and went posterior during labour, my OB helped to turn her, and she was delivered vaginally and quickly

I would go to spinning babies, I have been doing inversions as bub is breech again and I need to get bubs back to Celphic ASAP as I have a septum which is restricting movement. I also used Moxa Sticks (Moxibustion) to get bub to spin earlier along with accupuncture. They are both worth a shot, but generally not until about 32 weeks. But the inversions are safe to do now

Take care and spin baby spin!!!!!

DD2 was transverse or breach until 36 weeks, she kept flipping half way. Then I started crawling around the floor alot (although not easy with SPD) and I was doing mini handstands in the shower at night and she flipped just after 36 weeks

i had a tranverse bub, both my boys turned constantly til the day they were born! i found out i had extra fluid which was helping them do so, as doctors were confused as i was teeny and my belly was stretched to max! they can turn but their are chances they might turn again my sisters bub was breech then turned for labour then went breech again, unfortuantly we have had c sections, but fingers crossed bubs wants to be good and you are given a natural birth. hopefully when your closer to due date things are worked out or they'll see if they can turn bubs for you so you can have a shot at natural. xxx

I'm getting the most interesting visials from your post mel

My little one is breach right now too at 29 weeks. I was told not to worry about it until 34-36 weeks as it will more than likely turn.

Thinking of you though and sending 'spinning' thoughts xx
