Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm not in a similar situation (in fact, this baby has been head down since before Christmas!), but from what I've read, you have lots of time for baby to flip around. Is this your first pregnancy? With first babies our uterus' are tighter, and tend to keep baby in transverse longer. Don't worry. You still have over 2 months for her to move! Talk to your OB or midwife though, because it's good for them to know your concerns. And, if she decides not to turn, they'll still be able to get her out safely! (My aunt clearly remembers her baby doing a complete turn around in her belly just days before birth! She said it was the weirdest sensation, and hurt because he was so big, but it got him in the right spot.) Amazing what our bodies can do! Good luck!

this is my third pregnancy, but the previous one ended in a miscarriage. i just hope she turns because i really don't wanna have a c/s. thank you jenice for the advice

Jenice is right...your lo has plenty of time to turn so i wouldnt worry :-)

This pregnancy my baby is head down.. but with my last one I had a transverse baby. She was head down at 30 weeks, and at 36 weeks she decided she didnt like that position, and decided she would go transverse. From that time on she went from head down, to transverse to breach to head down to transverse again. She had many different positions and lots of room to move. In the end I had another c section because she just wouldnt stay down no matter what they did. ~Kristin~

Well this is just to give you hope! My last pregnancy my daughter was head down the whole time even 2 days before her birth but when I went to deliver her she was transverse. Somehow she managed to flip right around without me even knowing.
