Reassurance and personal stories? ECV and ECS

[flowerpot258]

I'm 36+4. Went to MW today. I'm measuring 41 so seem to be quite big but baby is also transverse. She has booked me an urgent scan for Monday.

If baby is still transverse it's probably unlikely she will turn at this stage even if she had room.

MW said I might be offered a ECV. All I've heard is horror stories about it and don't fancy it myself especially since it's not guaranteed that baby stays head down. I think I'd be happier getting a section.

If I was to get an ECS I'm not sure if they will do it at 37 weeks or just later on at 39-40 weeks.

Anyone got their own stories about ECV or ECS?

I@babythreeincoming - I had her June 2022 by elective section. I was at home until the day of the section and back home again the following afternoon so only spent around 30 hours in hospital.

I've actually just had another baby since then who is only 6 days old. I had another c section with her and all went okay.

No more baby's for me now though. 3 is enough for this mama

@flowerpot258 Thank you so much for replying and congratulations! Lovely news 🌸
