    Kittie - tell your daughter not to worry about the transverse lie just yet! I am sure that he will stabilze in a longitudinal position soon! Also to try: swimming.
    sI did also lie flat down on the floor with a cushion beneath my head and my legs up a wall, with my bum pressed up as near to the wall as I could ( a sort of L position if that explains it) but I would check that one with the midwife as it can make you a bit light headed!


    Not adviseable, would cause caval compression (pressure on the main blood supply), hence the lightheadedness.
