A member asked:

I am 30 weeks pregnant and had a sonagram yesterday and they told me the baby is lying transverse does that mean he is trying to turn head down.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely in process of: Often baby is head-down by about 32 weeks or so..Some can be down from the start of pregnancy. Turning head-down is nature's way of preparing for birth..An amazing process of pregnancy/birth. Keep yourself well, eat well, stay active if you can until delivery. Congrats and look luck.
