baby number 4 - previous 3 were all spontaneous vaginal deliveries with no complicatins at term. Was breach before but confirmed cephalic at 37 weeks, so has turned and I haven't felt it.

No other health concerns, no PMH

Saw MW today who sent me for presentation scan as due for a HB, baby is breach / unstable transverse.

Saw the Dr this evening whos basically scared the crap out of me and said dead baby at least twice. I don't want a C section, an ECV sounds crap too, a stable induction sounds hideous. I wanted my uncomplicated HB. FFS Any advice gratefully received as we need to call at 8am and tell them if we want the C section or the ECV on Friday.

Update - went in for the ECV only to find baby head down Cephalic so they've sent me away - rescan on Saturday morning and seeing consultant again. Any twinge or waters break etc and I'm to head straight in. Think they're pushing for me to have a stable induction.
