Hi,
Ok............Bubs is still breech im am 35 weeks on saturday. Next weds I have a midwife appointment where if the baby is still breech (please please turn!!) I will be reffered for a consultant appointment and scan to confirm position and discuss ECV vs C Section.
I'm torn.............Something about the ECV makes me very uneasy, i've heard stories of it leading to a Emergency section, cord getting wrapped round babys neck, baby flipping back to breech etc etc. Part of me thinks that if "bump" is breech then there is a reason for this and leave him/her be.
BUT having a Csection also comes with its own risks, I'm worried mainly about post operative care, the hospital I am under (watford general) does not have a very good reputation for this any way. I worry I will struggle to breastfeed after the section, DD1 Birth was a breeze and i was home the next day..........this time I am so confused!!
I'd like to hear anyones experiences of ECV or elective sections to try and help me make up my mind!
xx
