baby position

[naturschld]

Almost 29 wks and the baby is still transverse, with the head on my right side and feet on left.  Its weird cause when I lay down, there's no bump above my belly button yet, just a mound below it.  Its laying so low, right at my pelvic bone; I thought it would have moved up and turned around by now.  Anyone else have experience with this position?

Some people worry about it bc baby technically will soon run out of room and then be in the incorrect position for birth. I think that's the worry. Or maybe that it feels like baby kicks so hard that their foot is going to fall out your vagina? Heehee I'm not sure. In my opinion as long as baby is moving around it's probably ok :) and baby still does have time to move positions so none of us have to worry about that yet. Soon but not yet.

Its crazy you can see the feet sometimes SunWorshiper! i cant quite see her feet or anything yet, but I can feel her head and face. and I feel a lot down by my pelvic bone and hips too quite a bit. Why should it make you worry? just wondering because I have no clue about it that :) because the uterus should be up higher?

I feel almost all movement (and there's A LOT of movement in there every day!) down very low and have been a little worried about it.  I, too, feel like the baby should be much higher and kicking my ribs by now, but 90% of what I feel throughout the day seems like it's down by my pelvic bone.  My next appointment is Wednesday so I guess I'll ask about this then.

Mines not head down either... With my other two they were bother head down at 26 weeks.... I hope he makes his flip soon cause I really don't want a c section

Mine also seems to be staying in the traverse position, but at 28 weeks my OB brushed it off saying that as long as he does it before 32 weeks, there's nothing to worry about....

My baby is also really active but doesn't move positions. Only rolls log rolls not flips. I know where head is because I can feel and see a large round mass on my right side and no movement there, strong kicks at my left side plus you can see little feet sometimes and then less strong punches at my belly button. This was also confirmed by ultrasound. It's very interesting that they all choose a different positions I wonder what decides what position baby is in.

I agree though with Dani always research before you decide so if they say do a version ask what the risks vs benefits are same w csection. Gotta weigh all your options and pick what's best for you, safest and that you are most comfortable with.
