Hi, Yes I had one and it was absolutely fine. I would definitely have one again without a second thought. there is, of course, a small risk that the baby will get into distress and you'd be taken for a c sec there and then, but tbh if you don't try the ECV you're probably looking at a c sec anyway aren't you?
Like Cyan the experience was very positive. i was scared and a bit nervous, but it was really fine. it was uncomfortable when her head went past my rib cage and hip bone (i was also just over 37 weeks) but it wasn't particularly painful, just a bit scrapy if that makes sense.
I had an injection to relax the uterus a bit and about 30 mins monitoring of baby's heartrate. then they did the proceedure - 2 consultants, one dug both hands below baby's bum and the other dug both hand above baby's head and they literally shove it round!! it was quite amazing really. DH was a star massaging my feet throughout to distract me and the MW's were lovely holding my hand for reassurance.
Once baby was round, they monitored her heartrate again for about an hour, and then we went home.
had a normal VB 5 weeks later.
I will see if I can go find a link to a video which showed the proceedure being done which I found really helpful (need to go to my other computer to get it so will come back in 15 mins and post it up for you if you see this).
Its one of the oldest midwifery techniques known, has a really interesting (and successful history). surprised your MW is anti. IME its the consultants who just want to do the c sec and the midwives advocating for ECV first!
