Transverse Lie/External Cephalic VersionFrom: Cortney (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 11 Feb 2003 15:32:39 -0600 (CST)
I am almost 37 weeks pregnant, went to my OB/GYN yesterday and she noticed right away that I had "dropped" (the "drop" actually happened last weekend). So she started feeling around and then called for an immediate ultrasound--apparently my baby is in a "tranverse lie" position. My OB/GYN told me about the external repositioning of the baby procedure, including the risks involved--that I may have to have an immediate C-section if there are complications, etc... I opted to wait out this week to see if I could do ANYTHING to get the baby to turn himself, but if he's not turned by Friday then on Monday my OB/GYN told me that she'd like me to go into the hospital to have the procedure done. Can you tell me: Should I wait longer to see if the baby turns himself if he's not turned by Friday or Monday even though my OB/GYN seems to think I'll be delivering in the next 2-3 weeks regardless? What are the chances that he will turn himself? What is the likelihood of me having to have an immediate c-section following the procedure (what are the chances of complications)? What excersises, stretches or techniques should I be doing and/or not doing this week to try to get the baby in the right position? And, what is the success rate of this procedure (how often will the baby just go back to the same position if the procedure is successful)? Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you.
