Breech baby stories?

I have had a couple of extra scans at the end of my pregnancy due to my placenta looking low at 20 weeks. I’m now nearly 36 weeks and placenta isn’t coving my cervix however baby is transverse. I went down to my maternity unit today to get baby monitored for something else and the midwife’s commented on how baby was in a weird position - head in my right rib, back over my cervix and her legs on my left side. They explained that it was a dangerous position as if I was to go into labour and my waters break it can cause her cord to prolapse. The midwife said they’ll flag it up on my 36 week scan tomorrow and probably offer to try to turn baby. Has anyone had this procedure? Did your baby turn or even turn naturally before your due date?

Hey,
I tried an ECV with my first pregnancy as he was breech.
It was a bit like a Chinese burn, I didn't find it too bad during it but after I felt quite sore. My husband said its the most horrific thing he's ever seen haha!
It didn't work for us and I don't think I'd go through it again. I was really against a C Section so wanted to try everything to get him to turn but tbh the section was fine. Good luck!!

My daughter was born breech many years ago. Not attempt was made to turn her. A couple of times she did try to turn round and I can remember lying in the bath watching my stomach moving all over the place. Very unsettling.
She was born vaginally with an epidural. Nowadays I would probably be advised to have a C section.
