My Dr. gave me duvadilan retard tabs while I was heading 38 weeks of pregnancy after doing a pv exam saying that my baby was lil transverse so take this tabs for 10 days to relax your uterus & so the baby will get enough space to move & wl come to the correct position. Also I was advised to take complete rest for 10 days. I took this as prescribed. Till my due date come n go I had no labor symptoms nd no pain. Dr. gave pitocin injection through iv for some hrs but as no pain nd dilation, stopped iv line and told to walk till night and gave another injection on my side stating it?s for opening uterus. Next morning also no pain nd ended up having c-section. Did I get correct treatment? Was this to delay labor as I had full chances of normal delivery? Was this to relax my contractions nd pain and relax my uterus for section?

If the baby was in transverse lie, anyway c section was the only option. As for giving duvadilan retard, this is not a standard procedure for correcting lie. The doctor was taking a chance. She may have found your uterus taut and this could have prompted her. Since pitocin injection was given, I don't think we should doubt her intention.
