2nd breech baby

My dd was born 2 years ago by c-section due to her being breech. It was only discovered at 39 weeks so the consultant decided that the ecv was not feasible. DD born 2 days later and was 8lb 7. Even tho it wasn't idenified until late I am pretty sure that dd was always bottom down as I never felt any kicks at the top of my bump.

Am now 34 weeks pg with 2nd dc and this baby is breech and has never been head down. I have a scan next week and meeting with consultant to discuss delivery. Before finding out the dc2 was breech I was planning a VBAC. What are my options if the baby hasn't turned?

Whhat are the chances of having 2 breech babies?
My mum confirmed that I was breech and needed turning by ecv - is there a hereditary link?
Can they do an ecv if you have already had a cs?

Just thought Id give a quick update to this. Had my scan today at 35 weeks and the baby has turned. I think it turned on Sunday night. My bump was really sore for a couple of hours and then all the movement changed to the top.

Consultant says that it shouldn't turn back so i am on track for my VBAC. Yippee.

Today was a day of surprises. Went into the scan convinced I had a breech baby girl and found out that I have a head down baby boy. Was so convinced it was a girl that we hadn't even bothered to think about a boys name. Better get the name book out now

Fingers crossed you have a good VBAC experience after all this angst
