I’m 37 weeks pregnant and my babies Breech. He’s currently using my cervix as a recliner with his head on my right side. So according to my midwife these are my options. which could make for an emergency c section if the cord gets caught around his neck. this only has a 50% chance of working and it’s extremely uncomfortable. they don’t provide pain meds while they push and pull at the baby. However, if I decide on the hospital physically moving him there is a chance of needing an emergency c section or it not working anyways. I really need to make the decision by tomorrow but I need advice. I’m torn because of the chance that naturally the baby won’t move but there’s also a chance neither would work!?! Soo what Nike Roshe Run would you do if you were in my shoes. Advice or opinions PLEASE!!
Try whatever you can! I had a transverse baby (caught at 41 weeks) so I had very little time to try anything but acupuncture. The doctor did a version it hurt but it was worth a try to avoid a c/s. Unfortunately, my LO didn’t budge and away to surgery I went.
I’m now at weeks w/a breech baby and have been doing exercises, acupuncture, hot/cold packs, a homeopathic remedy, and setting up a time w/a chiropractor. If all this fails I’ll try for another external version.
Just remember if you have a c/s now and want more children, there’s a chance you won’t find a VBAC friendly doctor to deliver you and you’re very limited with later pregnancies as far as time limits and induction. But in the end, you have to decide to do what’s best for you and your baby.
I’m pretty sure swimming worked for me. I’ll be 37 weeks tomorrow. My LO was breech last Friday and as of yesterday she turned. My doctor won’t do an ECV on me (since I’m a FTM and the LO was frank breech), so she said to try acupuncture, some exercises (like your midwife described) and swimming. I tried swimming, doing flip turns, and either that or just timing worked and she turned. I personally decided we wouldn’t do an ECV even if my doctor was willing to, but that’s our own decision. There have been some other moms here who recently got an ECV and it worked. My baby was breech and I had planned on having a natural birth and so was very upset about having to have a c section. So, yesterday morning I went for (to turn the baby). I had previously tried accupuncture, pelvic air jordan 7 tilts, cold compresses, etc.,. My doctor has been doing the procedure for 24 years and has never had anyone need an emergency c section. Though, he did make it clear to me that it was a possibility. So, the procedure. I did not get hooked up to an IV. They did place a port in my arm in case. The doctor tried first without giving me the shot of medication that relaxes your abdominals. However, as I am a first time mom, or for whatever reason, he wasn’t able to manipulate my adomin very much. So, he then gave me the shot which didn’t hurt at all (in my arm) and tried again. This time he was successfull and the baby turned!! So, now I air jordan 5 get to have the natural birth that I desire. I am very, very glad I had the version. It was not painful, but it was uncomfortable and the whole procedure took about ten minutes at most. There are two versions on youtube that you can watch. It helped me to know what I could expect. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.
Not sure what to do either. but I’m in your shoes too. just 35.5 weeks at the moment! what I can tell, we may as well try the ECV, because if we don’t try it and baby is still breech we’ll have to get a c section anyway. that gives us a 50% chance of having a natural birth at least! we’ll definitely have c sections. Just make sure your dr. has all the fetal heart rate monitors hooked up while attempting it. I doubt the pain of the ECV would be as bad as the pain of a natural birth. so if we’re planning on doing a natural birth anyway, we can take the pain of the ECV, right? heard swimming can help him turn naturally. totally worth a try at least! are a couple videos of ECVs on youtube that you can watch they really don’t look bad at all. search for external version on youtube. this point I’m just trying to educate myself as much as possible on all the options. our babies will turn naturally though!! luck and keep us updated!
I am 34 weeks right now and my baby is breech. My doctor told me that by the delivery time, only 3 5% of babies are still breech and they can turn head down at the very last moment. I’ve decided against external version, as it does not sound pleasant or safe to me. I’ve also told my doctor that I am going to take my chances are not schedule c section. Meanwhile, I am doing pretty much everything you’ve mentioned to try to help him turn. One thing I’d recommend is swimming every day (if you have access to the beach or the swimming pool). Feels amazing and helps your muscles relax 
Mine is breech too. 35 weeks today. I’ve been swimming and just got back from pre natal yoga (I’m exhausted, I might need a nap!). I’m going to try a chiropractor and see if that helps. I feel for you. It’s a tough choice. I’m hoping that he’ll turn in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully your Lo will turn too. I’m going to try all the natural methods first, then I guess if he doesn’t turn, I’ll be in the same spot as yourself in two weeks. Sorry I can’t offer helpful advice, but wanted to let you know you’re not alone!
I had an appointment to try and ECV yesterday (at 37 weeks 5 days). After waiting endlessly (or 7 1/2 hours) for the doctor to have time to attempt it. they came in a did an ultrasound. Apparently, it decided to turn on its own in the past two weeks. I knew it’d been moving a lot and it seemed like it was trying to turn but I hadn’t realized it had been successful.
I had made the decision to go ahead and attempt it though. As far as I was concerned the worst that could happen was they would be unsuccessful and I would end up having the c section. or I could not try and have a c section. I have heard that it hurts a lot when they try to move the baby but that I was willing to deal with.
