Hi there, Now 37 weeks pg with no4. Had straightforward water homebirths previously with all babies weighing in at 9lb 13oz + (middle ds was 10lb 2oz). This baby appears to be breech and although I'm doing what I can to get it to turn I was wondering if anyone had experience of birthing a big breech baby?
My pelvic floor is hardly in good condition so was hoping to just cough this one out!! But now that its breech might need to reconsider. Really don't want a c/section unless there is a real medical emergency.
Attending antenatal clinic for a scan (first one ever) on Monday and happy to try ECV if not contraindicated but wanting to be prepared to fight for a vaginal birth if at all possible!
Any advice would be most gratefully received - thanks.
