Having another after a breech baby

DS was breech and refused to turn (ECV unsuccessful) so I had an ELCS. I'm now pregnant again and curious to hear of others' experiences of second babies after a breech baby. Was your second breech as well? If yes, did you have an ECV and/ or an ELCS? If no, how did you deliver?

My first was breech, born vaginally. Then two the usual way round. Nice and easy the second two.

Interesting! Did you know your first was breech?

2 breech babies,first one emergency c section due to other issues, second was "elective" c section as breech and measuring huge. (I was told it needed to be c section as size predicted could potentially rupture the scar.)

My 2nd was breech, failed ECV then ELCS. My third was the right way around but very overdue so I ended up being induced. However, it all went well and I had a fairly straightforward vaginal birth. I hated the c-section compared to my first vaginal birth so I was very keen to avoid another c-section with my 3rd.
