My little one is still breech at 33 weeks and although I know there is plenty of time for him to turn I want to be mentally prepared for the potential of a c section - plan A is a natural Home birth so quite different to a section, hence wanting to be accepting and excited about all possibilities.
I have a random question specifically about breech sections if anyone has any experience or info to share? Well 2 questions but sort of lead on from each other!
If baby is breech, do they pull baby out bum first? Or do they sort of manoeuvre baby to get head out first?
And....
Is it possible to have a “natural” section when baby is breech, there is a consultant at my hospital who specialises in natural section delivery but from what I know and seen on YouTube they deliver the head first and let baby and uterus work together to deliver without much assistance. How does this work with breech????
Anyone had either or both of these situations?
I have appointment next week so I will be able to ask then but I’m not very good at waiting for info! I like to know
