Transverse lie @ 32 weeks


An article was saying this " when a baby appears to be in the transverse position, that this symbolizes the baby’s comfort and desire to be close to their mother’s heart. While this is a sweet notion, when it comes to birth, the transverse position is problematic for a desired vaginal birth"

I was told by my OG Dr" he likes to stay in this position very much" where by it is exactly what the article said about. However, the Dr did not advise me to do anything to encourage the little one to turn. His advice is, wait and see for 4 more weeks. Being a very physical base working mother, i am so determine to go for natural birth. Therefore, i do a lot of searching in the internet, to look for the best thing i could do or help the baby to turn.

I learned some techques from websites, such as Inversion, breech tilt, open knee chest. I don't know whether it is safe for me to perform all these but i think i will try since i do not have any chronic conditions like asthma, or breathing problem.

At the same time, I found this statement "less than 20% of the babies who are transverse at 37 weeks will remain transverse when labor begins, so another option is to wait for labor to start and attempt to turn the baby or perform a cesarean if it is still necessary". I know i cant wait.All the best to me!

A song that encourange to breast feeding

My bonnie is over the ocean melody
Breast feeding is good for the baby,
Breast feeding is good for the mum,
Breast feeding is good for the whole world,
So we must breast feed our babies.

I don't know how to sing this song as the lyrics is passed by a experienced mummy to me. She asked me to sing the song whenever i am tired to breastfeed the baby.
