Oblique lie

Widger · Apr 1st, 2012, 22:57 PM

Anyone have any experience of this?

I'm 41+4 and baby keeps moving from oblique to head down (mostly lying oblique). When I've been examined I'm still only 1cm, posterior and waters so far back they can't break them to start me off. They obviously need head to cover the hole as worried about cord prolapse.

I'm just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them and whether it made labour a long and drawn out process? I will have an option of section but with a toddler I would prefer to wait a little. But, if I'm still not favourable, am I going to be in two days time?

Any help would be appreciated please.

Thanks

im not sure about this but havent they suggested manually turning baby? My baby is breech but im only 21 weks so not worrying at the moment but did look up info on it just incase and apparently they could try to turn baby first before opting for a c section xx
