transverse babies

[PrettyTink]

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and baby is no longer head down. She is transverse (breached) and if by next Thursday she is not head down,  the doctors plan to'fix' her and then induce me. Has anyone gone through this? I'm trying to avoid a cesarean. But doctors don't want me to go into true labor while she is transverse for fear of both our health.

Go see a chiropractor. They have ways of manipulating the body so the baby will turn. Also, sit as far forward as you can in a chair or car. This makes the baby want to move. No sitting back and relaxing in the last trimester unfortunately.

My twins were transverse when I went into labor.  We had no issues, but I did have a c section.

She is transverse (side to side) or breech (head up, feet down)? The 1st one is for transverse
