3D Scan / Breech position / c-section at hospital outside area

[GingerDoodle]

Hi all

Just been for my 3d scan at 27 weeks. Firstly baby is fine so the main thing; was somewhat underwhelmed by the service - over 30 minutes late so DH had to leave part way through to get back to work, baby wasn't playing ball (obv not their fault) but the pictures they printed out were just 3d colour versions of the ones you get oin the NHS - not the A5 glossy types you expect really. They didn't have any memory sticks (even tho I wanted to pay) and the DVD burner was malfunctioning. The MD apologised and offered a free dvd (o woo) but when I said the sonographer had suggested they waive the fee to rescan me he said he would have to email me :s

Baby has turned bottom down, now I realise there is plenty of time to shift and I don't really object to a c-section if need be anyway but we are planning to use a hospital outside our area (just over an hour away) - would this still be possible if I need a section?

Thanks

GD

Hello - I've not had a cs myself, but if you have cs for medical purposes they may book you in a week early (as they did with a friend of mine). Is the breech position the only reason why you may have cs?? 27 weeks is early to worry about breech - they may offer you manual turning much later on, but that has about a 50% chance of working, then of those turned, approx 50% will turn back (apparently). Look up moxibustion for turning, it has an 80% success rate and is not uncomfortable - even one of the NHS trusts around here uses it rather than manual turning. It's a form of accupuncture, but they dont' use needles (eek), apparently it's quite nice. Good luck with the 12/13 weeks you have left:)
