My son was born transverse lie at 37.5 weeks.

I was constantly being told by the midwives up until by 37.5 weeks that he was head down and everything was honky dory. I had an obs look at me at my 37 week appt and he said that my bub was breech. Asked if he was kicking up near the ribs or down below and i said that most of the movement was down below. He was constantly kicking me in the bladder and had to go to the loo every 30 mins.

I told the obs, how could that be as my son was always heads down at all my appts. He said that the midwives may have mistaken his bum as being his head. I was send straight out of his office to have an u/s. The u/s showed that he was transverse lie at that point. Went back to his office and he said that i need to go home and come back to the hospital as i was being admitted in that night. He could not risk me going home and waiting weeks before labour onset. I had my son by c/s a few days later. He was born transverse. I count myself lucky that the obs reecognised my son as being breech/transverse otherwise he may not have been alive today if i had gone into labour at home and waited hours for the contractions to get closer together and all the fluid drained out.
