Gestational diabetes, 36weeks 6 days and breech.
I’m suddenly so emotional and wondering if I can do this.
I’ve got to have an ECV (where they by hand try and flip the baby) next week. So nervous. Has anyone had this done please?

We’re the exact same weeks, 37 today! 🥳 I was told my little one was breech yesterday too and they have given me ECV as one of my options. I haven’t had this done yet but thought I’d message so you know you’re not alone, I was extremely overwhelmed yesterday

My baby is breech as well. A friend of mine had it done and it worked brilliantly for her. She had gas and air for pain relief if needed. It works 50% of the time and baby can flip back again. If baby is still breech by the time I reach 37 weeks, I’ll opt for one as well. You’re monitored all the time, and you’re kept for a few hours to monitor bay as well.
