[lissielouwithbunnyears]

my SiL is 36w on monday and the mw cant tell if baba is transverse or breech. shes advised an ECV (have posted on this before)and a scan. want to know all the facts 1st. she had 32 internal stitches with ds and (obv) a v nasty tear, he also broke her coxyks(sp) so obv bit worried about a VB but mw wants to avoid a cs if poss nedd mn help!!!!

well it worked for me as I avoided a cs so would highly recommend it. Check the consultant has done it a few times before andtheir success rate. It doesn't actually hurt as they give you a muscle relaxant. They are scanning you as they do it so will be constantly monitoring position of baby.
HTH

was your baby breech or transverse? and was it your 1st?

Hi lissielou, I started a thread on this a few days ago. It's in the Childbirth section. (don't know why I started it there, ) I had a good response, I'll try and link it fo you.

thank you, that would be fab!
