Hello-
I had a successful ECV at 37 weeks for a transverse baby. I'm due back tomorrow 39+3 to see if the baby has moved back. I have a few worries which I will discuss tomorrow but I just wondered if anyone could shed some light.
If he hasn't moved I can carry on as I am.
If he has moved they will offer another ECV& be induced
Or they'll offer a c-section.
I just need some views please- what would you do? Would you have another ecv or ask for a c-section? My heart was set on a natural birth- I had one with my son but I was induced with no issues. I wasn't far off being sent for a section though. BUT I'm concerned that another ecv may lead to a section or induction can lead to a section. I'll do whatever is safest for baby but has anyone else been in the same situation?
I'm petrified of the recovery after a section but I need to do what's best

@Rubiales678 Hello, I have only just seen this. It ended terribly. I went in for monitoring at 40+3, baby's heart rate was going from 120-220& wouldn't settle after 3 hours. They tried to feel baby but he had gone back transverse! While doing this, they had broken my waters. His cord& hand started coming out. Cord prolapseI was rushed for a cat 1 section. He needed to be resuscitated ect but he was totally fine in the end
I hope yours was more successful x
I'm so so glad you are both okay too- glad to hear back from you 
Hes asleep on me aswell, he's suffering from colic . I also too have an infection, I hope we both repair soon 
@Rubiales678 I forgot to tag you 
- recovery has been pretty good on me apart from the infection. How are you? When did you have the section?
