37 wks with transverse baby!From: anonymous@obgyn.netSat, 3 May 2003 13:48:48 -0500 (CDT)
this is my 3rd baby no real problems with the pregnancy. I went into labor last Sunday and was stopped (terbutiline--unsure of spelling sorry). Only a fingertip dilated but they didn't allow me to contract when they saw they were 2 minutes apart. (3cm externally) At the doc on Friday was long---thick and closed---he did mention "floppy' from previous children. Anyway my question is.. I am now 2 cm (internally) and 50% thinned and this little guy is NOT turning. Have had 2 u/s this week. His head is under my right rib. Placenta is anterior. I have previously had 9lb. 9oz baby 22in.. I think maybe he is too large to turn and I don't want anything to happen to him. (have also had d&c done for retained placenta) Do you think I am correct in not allowing the 'version'? I know that he COULD turn but if he's very large--chances are not as good. Does anyone have any more information on transverse babies and the outcome? And is it really safe to be walking around being dilated like this...with the chance of rupturing of membranes and cord prolaspe? I'm just looking to maybe get some info to ease my mind.. I feel like I'm a time bomb...just waiting for something horrible to happen. (not to mention tired of being pregnant and contracting ALL the time.) Can I even dilate and thin "completely" with no pressure down there---head not engaged? I've heard some say that I couldn't .. some say that I could... Thanks for any help!!
