Question 1

what is transverse lie?

Accepted Answer

Unstable position.: Fetuses tend to have longitudinal lies in pregnancy - be they cephalic or breech. Transverse lies are less common and involve the fetus with its spine axis perpendicular to the mother's spine axis (head to right or left, spine up or down). If persistent, transverse lies need cesarean section for delivery, unless external cephalic version [with epidural and terbutaline under real-time u/s] works.

C-section, or ECV.: External cephalic version or cesarean section are the only two methods for dealing with transverse lie at delivery.

Question 5

i have a transverse lie at 35 weeks, and the baby won't move with exercises that my midwife has recommended. your thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Version: If malpresentation persists at 37 weeks, an external version may be attempted where the provider places hands on the abdomen and attempts to guide the baby into the proper position.  There can be complications, so this should be done in a hospital with fetal monitoring and the ability to perform a csection if necessary.

Question 6

signs of not able to have kids?

Accepted Answer

Not many: Many, if not most people who need help getting pregnant only find this out once they start trying to have a child! there are a few obvious tipoffs, like irregular/absent periods, childhood hormonal and/or anatomical problems, and a few others that can be quite obvious. But otherwise, there aren't many "outward signs" of infertility. Good luck!
