Hiya has anyone ever had ECV done ? I went to triage yesterday before of reduced moments, and they think he may be breached. I will be receiving a call tomorrow to have a scan, which will confirm. I'm 35 weeks +4 days. I was hoping to have a natural labour, but this may not be possible now.

I did with my first... I was over 39 weeks at the time as they didn't realise 😅 but she was very breach and I did try to have her turned but it didn't work. After I had it done people were telling me how painful it was etc.... I personally didn't find it painful at all just un comfortable. They did inject me before having it done in the tummy and they did say it can cause labour and within 24 hours I did go into labour and had a c section. :)

I had a friend who had it done, and they managed to turn baby at around 36w and ended up in a vaginal birth xx

I’m had the option to have it or could opt for planned c section.
I weighed up the risks etc… main one was it could in in emergency c section (they have a bed ready for you just in case)
For me the planned c section was the better option at the time as it was my brothers funeral a few days later And my then 2 year olds birthday the day after that. My date for c section was 1 week later… crazy emotions !
I would say, c section recovery is a lot harder than vaginal birth so if I had the choice again I might chose different. Do some research and decide what’s best for your current circumstances

I am in the same situation, it’s so hard to decide!
