ECV or planned c-section?

[Crunchiecravings]

Hi everyone

I had a growth scan yesterday at 38+4 and discovered baby is now breech after being head down for the last 4 weeks. I am gutted ☹️

I have an ECV booked in for tomorrow when I will be 38+6 but I can’t make my mind up whether to go for the ECV knowing the risks and low success rate while also being aware that time is ticking. I have an anterior placenta and my baby is estimated to be 8.5lbs now - not sure if that makes a difference with the risks of an ECV.

Please can anyone help me to decide whether to go for the ECV or straight for a planned c-section?

Thank you.

Well done 😃 Fingers he stays put now! X

Thanks @Helenj1977 I hope so!!! X

Glad it worked for you.

I would mention to the midwives attending your birth that you have had the procedure, and you are concerned about the cord. They will then know to keep a look out (well more than they would normally!!).

Oh ok thank you for the advice @Seeline I will do that ☺️
