36 week scan today, found baby to be breech :-(

[BlueJellie]

baby has been head down all throughout my pregnancy & for some reason he's now turned :-( I expected scan & appointment today to just be same old same old & now THIS. I'm booked in on Friday for an ECV, can anyone share their experience of this please? If it's not successful then I will have to have an elective section. I'm so so gutted I was petrified about labour but didn't want a section as am worried about the recovery etc & breast feeding. Been crying all morning since the scan, can't understand why pregnancy has been textbook so far & now it's gone to crap at the final hurdle :-(

Good luck with however you choose to proceed. I found out after 7 hours of labour that ds was footling breech, and had an emergency caesarean within minutes. Which was a bit of a shock, especially as I was all set up for a water birth!

hi guys! Discharged from hospital yesterday night, recovered well from csection. Actual op was great not half as scary as I thought. Baby Charlie was born at 18:30 on Wednesday and weighed 5lbs10oz. Only drawback is that due to him not getting enough blood flow through the umbilical cord after my waters broke he has had to be monitored on the neonatal ward so is not home with me yet. But baby is healthy and doing great, managed to successfully breastfeed today so have been tuning back to the hospital every couple of hours to feed him, am knackered! Will have him home with me tomorrow, can't wait :-).

I'm so pleased to hear things are going OK for you - I've been wondering how you're getting on. Glad the CS sounds like it was a fairly positive experience, and that breastfeeding is going well
