    Transverse Lie - trying to VBAC

    I'm around 37 weeks and have been told that baby is transverse. I'm really cross with myself for not asking my OB more questions and now two days later I'm really stewing about it and google is not really helping my cause. My OB didn't say much at the time and will see me again next week. I looked at spinningbabies and several other sites and have been down on hands and knees and crawling, what else can I try? I really want to be given the chance to at least try to birth again but from what I'm reading most babies are unlikley to turn back down. I've also read there could be issue like cord, narrow pelvic inlet, low amniotic fluid. Anyone been in similar position and managed to turn baby and go on to attempt a VBAC?

    I'll second the chiro suggestion, also could try some accupuncture.

    Something to try at home is get in a nice warm bath and put some frozen peas or ice pack where the babies head is. They don't like the cold and will sometimes turn towards the warm. Worth a try!!
