Whats worse? Breech or transverse?

Miss_Bump · Jan 11th, 2010, 10:49 AM

I think my little girl is turning

She has been breech for a loooooong time and today i felt her kick to the bottom right of my tummy (feet) wriggle by my belly button (torso) and punch up and left of my belly button (head/hands)

So im HOPING she is just taking her sweet old time to turn but if she ends up transverse is that worse than being breech?

i know ive got ages but i just want her to be head down

you dont want her tranverse closer to labour but at the moment transverse can just be more uncomfortable for you its not a problem at this stage and transverse babys are normally way easier to turn

It's EXCEEDINGLY rare for a baby to stay transverse when you go into labour so that's not likely to happen. Hopefully bubs is just turning. I should say, however, that often when it 'feels' as though my baby is transverse their head is still down- and just their body is wrapped across.

My baby made a very gentle turn from transverse to head down at about 30 weeks. Transverse is very un-comfy, I found.

ouch ouch ouch for transverse - Fynn was transverse for ages but he is now head down. He killed my hip so hope your LO has a prompt dash head down xxxx

Mine was head down till 28 weeks and then she turned, although i didint feel her do it. I since have felt kicks at the top again. My placenta is across the top so not felt much. So i though woohoo, but yesterday i was told she is still breech. GRRR lol

Transverse is not fun. Dylan was transeverse for a long time and then he went breech before finally going head down. I can safely say that transverse is much more uncomfortable than breech.

My baby was transverse until yesterday. It was never uncomfortable for me. Honestly, this breech position feels more uncomfortable to me.
