You can ask about vaginal breech birth if that’s something you might be interested in :) some babies are breech for a reason (short cords, lack of space to turn etc) so it’s possible that whatever you do won’t work! Equally sometimes an ECV is successful. I’d suggest gathering all the info you can to be able to make an informed choice x
Thanks everyone 💗
I’m in the exact same situation, currently at 36+3 and baby is still breech and has been for a couple of months. I don’t like the idea of ECV but it’s a personal choice…. I just think if he wanted to turn he would! Don’t like the idea of him being forced and quite often doesn’t work anyway. There’s also risk of the cord getting tangled 😕 not trying to scare you but you’ve probably read these things yourself whilst researching!! I’m booking in for a C section but if he miraculously turns before it can be cancelled, so I think it just makes sense to get it booked as a safe back up x
Hi all, just an update I was scheduled for ECV today but have cancelled and opted for selective c section! X
I had an ECV Monday just gone, I was so nervous because everyone said how painful it is…. It didn’t hurt in the slightest the only bit that was a bit uncomfortable was my doctors nails… they wasn’t long but she scratched a TINY bit Unfortunately it didn’t work for me baby turned back to breech half hour later I’m booked in for a c section tomorrow good luck xx
@Deniz what movements were you doing when they turned?
I know it's rare but my breech baby has turned on week 38.
