    Hi all
    I am 29 weeks pregnant and recently had a scan where I was told that my baby was in transverse position!! They didn't say much really only that it might turn to normal position, but of course I have been on Google to find out more and am a bit worried,,, is baby ok in this position, can baby's blood flow an oxygen be restricted?
    Should I be scanned or checked weekly to make sure all is ok,
    She also mentioned placenta is posterior...
    Thanks all.

    Firstly, chat to your midwife, and stay away from google. smile.png

    I've had a transverse monkey and anterior placenta and all was well. Babies can and do stay in awkward positions right up until the last minute and it can be perfectly normal. Your scan would have checked blood flow to the baby, heart rate and if they had any concerns, they would have likely explained them to you or referred you for further scans or checks.

    But, keep counting your kicks, and if you have any concerns or worries, go into your maternity unit. They don't mind - in fact midwives prefer you to come in, get checked and clear up any concerns you have rather than have you sit at home worrying and getting stressed.
