Bubs still transverse

[first_time_mummy]

sorry i prob sound like a total dumb bum here but what does transverse mean?

[Ellee05]

Not a dumb bum!! I had no idea either until I was faced with it. Baby was lying across my belly. Head to the left, feet to the right

Don't feel silly - it means bubs is lying across ways instead of up/down so normally bubs would be head down, bum up or in the case of breech bum down, head up. With transverse the head is out one side and bum out the other so it needs to turn 90 degrees to make an exit.

Trish - No she was transverse still.

Still find it funny that I was probably having the early signs of labour when I typed the thread hahaa
