Baby Sideways..

How many weeks are you? My DD didn't turn until 37-38 weeks. Baby has room even if it is big. And unless baby is estimated at 10-11lbs then there is no telling if he is going to really be big. Ultrasounds can be a pound off. My 3 were 9 pound babies. And I am small and all came out without a problem. My friend on the other hand had macro babies all about 11lbs at birth.. oh and she's tiny too and they all came our fine too :)

Ds2 was completely breech, then sideways, until a week and a half, two week before birth. He flipped though!

I'm 33wks but all I was told that he was sideways and hes big and he seems to be on the top part of my belly but she never said how much he could be weighing she said my next appt they would c how he was laying

i wouldnt worry too much. i have heard of babys that turn while mother was in labor...then again ive heard the opposite too. There are suggested ways of trying to get your baby to turn downwards. I swore my last one was breech until i did the flashlight to him, take a flashlight and lead to the bottom. babys will see the brightness and fallow it to see what it is. There are other tales you can check and see, some women swear by some of them...good luck mama, hope the baby turns...and fyi, so you feel easier, my baby had the heart thing as well, they tested and it was negative, the office i went to is a level 2 US office, he says he sends about 10% of women that comes in there to get the test done because of that reason...a LOT lower changes of anything coming up positive(for them that was 10 women a day) and very few and far between that actually come positive on that...good luck

I was told that alot of women were sent cuz their baby had that but more than likely they would be healthy babies just that some are born with it and eventually it would go away or they have it the rest of their life. I will def try the flashlight thing, just seemed weird to me since my daughter was never like that. Thanx for the advice :)

My daughter flipped to breech at 38 weeks and then flipped back at 39 weeks. I had her 2 weeks later and she was 10lbs 5oz. Of she coups flip with ease, your baby can too. And many babies flip in labor so no need to worry this early :)
