I guess not Lulu. The obs wanted me in hospital quick smart. He didn't want to take any risks. I went home and packed and was back in the hospital within the hour. They had a bed and everything for me. They wanted to wait a week for DS to be 38 weeks, but his size was good enough, so i had him the next day (i think!)

Bella was breach till 38 weeks and then she turned her self and was 3/5th engaged but also was posterior which they didnt know till I have been in labour for 12 hrs and then she was stuck with her head on the side and had to have a c/s - but goes to show she was breach for nealy the whole time but turned by her self. I also had my placenta in the front so it muffled the kicks and they felt like they were coming form eveywhere so I was confused as to where she was lying!
Hth - bub will spin in time I bettcha!

The issue with transverse lie is if you go into labour and your membranes rupture there is a risk of the cord prolapsing. Admission is required until the baby turns to a favourable / less risky position (head up or down - there just needs to be something *solid* blocking the exit). There is no need for a c-section immediately but there is the need for monitoring and an operating theatre immediately available until that change in position (or labour) occurs.
Mel - the transverse position at this stage isn't an issue. Your uterus (pardon my description) is floppy and stretched after 2 other bubbas so there is more room to hang around. DD was my third pregnancy and stayed in transverse until late in the pregnancy. I mean, why would you hang upside-down when hammock is soooooooo much more comfortable
