A member asked:

What to do if the baby is in transverse position?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

C-section: Babies may remain transverse for a variety of reasons. Sometimes there is a benign growth in the uterine wall or other issue that prevents movement into a normal position. Regardless of the cause, these are only deliverable surgically.
