Transvere Lay & a Turn

[JourneyJoJo]

I'm 37 weeks and the baby is lying transverse.  Well he was on Friday anyhow.  I scheduled an acupuncture appointment and I'll find out on Friday if he's moved.  If not, they're scheduling me for a "turn" on an epidural.  Not really sure how that's going to work.  I'm very nervous.  If the baby doesn't turn and I happen to go into labour, I'm supposed to rush to L&D so they can try and turn him before my water breaks so they don't have to do a c-section.  Anyone else ever had a turn?

just been for my checkup and this baby is transverse too due on sunday... only real problems i had last time was it seemed to take ages to get to active labour i was sort of dialating a cm a day till i finally got to 4cm but im not sure weather that was just because she was my first and she was only 5 days late so wasnt too bad x

i delivered my first baby transverse was told they try to turn by themself even during labour but she stayed put was in agony with my back for a few week after but i wouldnt say labour seemed any harder i managed to push her out after 20 mins and only had minor tears that needed a few stiches she weighd 7lb 11 so not a tiny baby try not to worry about it hun everything will work itself out trust your baby and body ;)

Wow, that sounds like much. I'm sorry, haven't had that before but my little cousin was stuck that way too until my aunt went into labor, it was a long process for her as it was about 12yrs ago but I'm sure now it is much easier. Good luck!!
