Breech at 36/37-week scan - what to expect from consultant?

3 replies

I have a firmly breech baby (unmoved for months!) and am wondering what to expect from the scan this week. I have consultant after the scan - does anyone know whether we might be offered to book in the various options tomorrow? (ECV, c-section, etc) Or will that take place later on? I'm 36 and a half weeks.
Thank you!

I'm in a similar position and have another scan at 37 weeks (Monday) to see if baby has moved. If not, I'll be offered an ECV or can book a planned section date.

Hope baby has turned for you 🤞🏼 Would you try an ECV?

Where is the placenta as an EVC won’t even be a possibility in some positions. Yes, if you want a c section you need to get it agreed now in case you go into labour before the appointment.

I had my little boy in 2020 and was adamant he was breech - we had just hit the first lockdown and they were going to induce me at 39 weeks as he was IVF, they also cancelled the consultation meetings due to the pandemic but I begged the midwife to just check his position as I just had a feeling from his movements. I'm so glad they scanned me as he was footling breech 🙈 I too was 36 weeks at that point. They did a consultation with me a few days afterwards and offered ECV or c-section. I opted for the section and we were booked in for 39 weeks. Little monkey had me go into labour the day prior to the section which was quite scary however the section still went ahead and all went really well ☺️ good luck!
