Pregnancy questions: transverse breech refers to the baby's position in the uterus which is across from side to side with the buttocks more down A complete placenta previa means the placenta is completely over the cervix and will require a C-section

Worrisome findings: For a baby to deliver from below they need access to oxygen from the placenta until they can get out & breathe. It should be positioned high in the uterus. A complete previa means it sits low & covers the cervix from the inside, blocking the way out so C-section is required. The kid is also crossways with bottom a bit lower. You will need to schedule a C/S or go in at the first sign of labor.
