PREGNANCY: Transverse position and anterior placentaFrom: Amy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:09:47 -0500 (CDT)
I am pregnant with my first and am 30 weeks. I have a low lying anterior placenta (which moved up from a placenta pravia) and my baby is in the transverse position. He has been transverse almost the entire prengancy. He experimented with a feet down position around 22 weeks but has since moved back to lying sideways. He is lying feet to the left side and head on the right side of my belly. My doctor has not been able to tell me whether he is facing my back or the front of my belly. There is lots of information out there about transverse positioning and having an normal placenta but I am having a VERY difficult time finding any information about a transverse positioned baby and an anterior placenta. My questions are: What are the chances that he will turn head down by full term? I have been told that it is pretty rare to have an anterior placenta and having the baby be transverse this long (normally they position breech)- is this true? Should I prepare myself for a c-section? Does having the lower anterior placenta present any risks during c-section vs. having a normal anterior placenta (or normal placenta)? I have read that external manuvering trying to turn the baby is risky for those with an anterior placenta. Is this true? What is recommened to try to get baby to turn? Does anyone have a website that they can recommend to me for finding out more information regarding transverse positions and anterior placentas? Thank you so much for ANY information that you can provide to me!
