37w2d, baby transverseFrom: Melissa (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 26 Jul 2002 07:48:44 -0500 (CDT)
I am 37w2d and found out yesterday via u/s that my baby has turned into a transverse position since my last appointment a week ago (when the dr found me 1 cm dilated,no effacement, no station given, but head down "and not going anywhere - oops on that one!) Her head is in the upper right quad, butt in lower left, feet at birth canal (though since I have also felt feet in upper left quad). She is measuring 7 lbs already and fluid level is 19.6. I am A1DM with weekly NST that are normal. Placenta is in upper left quad at back of uterus. What do you think the chances are of her moving back to head down? I read about external versions being 50-60% successful for breech but nothing about any success with transverse. At what point would a dr attempt external version? My doctor is out of town until Monday (when I have an appt) so I would be almost 38 weeks before it could be attempted - are my chances small? Anything I can do over the weekend to encourage her to turn back to head down? When would a c-sect. be performed if necessary? What are the risks if I go into labor with baby in this position (uterine rupture, death, etc). Any suggestions? Thanks!
