Sideways

[nighten]

Anyone else's little one hanging out sideways? Mine has been for some time -- the m/w told me I was measuring large horizontally though fundus measurement was normal. And I get pokes and kicks simultaneously on both right and left sides of my tum.

But yesterday I was miserable -- my stomach ached and I had bad cramps that I honestly couldn't tell if they were gas or what -- it just hurt (not BH -- I know what those feel like -- this was different and water nor lying down didn't make it go away). My SIL saw me and said the baby's sideways and growing at such a rate that my organs are getting all moved around, so I guess yesterday something moved that didn't like it.

Anyone else have a sideways one? Should I bother with the whole lying on a board, etc. to get her to go head-down? Or heck, feet down at this point would still be an improvement I think? I know she's still little enough to flip back but it's getting dang uncomfy for me :/

Any suggestions?

This little babe was breech but has now moved transverse, my belly has changed shape and looks odd :lol I'm doing all the hands and knees, sitting on birth ball(hips lower than knees) and left side lying but I figure we still have a long time for them to move to head down. Transverse is not comfy though! maybe our babies will agree and spin for us! :D

This kid's all over the place. :lol Sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes sideways...and it seems to change from one minute to the next. :)

Hang in there!

My ds is transverse right now. My first son was also transverse for several months. He eventually turned. I wouldn't be concerned as they have several weeks to turn.

My ds was transverse for a looooong time, and then finally turned head down. I'm thinking it was 30-32 weeks. Sorry you're uncomfortable. :hug

Yup, I've got a sideways baby also. Although not totally sideways as the head is up near my belly button and the legs are down near my left hip. And it's been doing a tap dance on my bladder all day. I think it actually flipped head for a bit over the weekend as I was suddenly getting kicks in my midsection. But it didnt' last long. And even though I know it's early and the baby can still turn, I am starting to get paranoid that this baby isn't head down. With my first we didn't find out until he was 39 weeks that he was breech....so I would be really happy if this one would get head down and stay that way....

Darn! I was thinking we were going to trash the movie! :lol

My littlest one squirms all over the place, but mainly settles on my left side.... so, for example, yoga is fun.... I can do Triangle pose on my right side, but not my left... and lunges? fugedaboutit. :lol
