if have/had breech baby, what is safest, natural/ceserean birth?

[bigboydiditandranaway]

Baby is breech at the moment(36wks)although baby may still change position, what is best, natural/ceserean birth. mw has told me they will offer to turn the baby and a natural birth, what do u think?

I pushed ds2 in the little rolling crib thingy down to the photography studio on the L&D floor when he was 2 days old. I was a little sore the next day but all in all not bad.

Thanks so much for all your messages. Really hoping for a ceserean now, bet the baby will turn now!!

Just had another thought, what happens if i go into labour before i have a scan? Will they automatically whip in for an emergency ceseraen

No they will be able to tell if he is breech by feeling. I had ds a week earlier than scheduled there was no panic I was just given the next available slot in the theatre.

They had a protable scanner thing where I gave birth so they could double check the position. However, an experienced mid wife will know.

If you go into labour before you have the scan they may well advise you to go to hospital.

Oh, and I was out and about pushing a pram the day I left hospital.

Thanks for your messages, just had a bit of a panic about it earlier!
