[quote=Anonymous]Hi, everyone! I am writing to see if anyone has any experience having a transverse/oblique baby at 36 weeks and to know what your doctor advised.

Context: I had a U/S today, which confirmed the baby is still transverse (has been since 30-32 weeks). The U/S didn't show any other issues with baby - normal size, amniotic fluid, etc.

I am not worried about having a c-section - that's fine - but I am worried about suddenly going into labor and having a cord prolapse, which I've read/heard in birth class can be serious. Apparently, some women are admitted to the hospital for monitoring if their babies are transverse because the risk, if the mom goes into spontaneous labor, is that serious. I brought this up at my OB, but they have reduced staffing and I was talking to a nurse who didn't have experience with baby positioning issues. They dismissed it. I tried calling the OB after the appointment, but they said I could only use the patient portal to ask questions, and in my experience, they don't answer those questions.

All that being said - I'm curious to know if others have had experience with transverse (not breech) babies. Was it treated as an emergency/am I being nuts? I'm trying to over-advocate for myself because I know that COVID, very understandably, has offices distracted.
