Transverse - being admitted!
Came into triage this morning after calling last night about itchy feet for a blood test. I told my husband to stay home with our 2.5 year old as I would be in and out. Mentioned being transverse at 37 weeks still and the midwives were shocked there was no plan other than my section at 39+2 weeks.
Doctor came, did a scan, still transverse. Have now been told I need to be admitted for bed rest and can’t go home until delivery now! Possibilty they will move my section earlier.
I’ve had a cry, wasn’t prepared for this today. My mom is going to mine now to finish packing my bag, with a tonne of extra things now, and to look after our son so my husband can come.
Feeling totally unprepared for this!

Sending lots of love ❤️. We've been told if I'm still footling breech at my next scan there is a chance I'll be admitted until delivery which I was really upset about. I spent a lot of time using Chat GPT to research and it recommended carving your day into little chunks where possible (e.g. mid morning go for a hospital walk to the coffee shop). While it's only small, I did think it might give me something to keep me busy/pass the days xxx
Hello, could I ask why you’d have to be admitted if baby is transverse? I’m also going through this but currently 36 weeks, haven’t got a c section planned as of yet x
