Breech birth experiences much appreciated...

[McSnail]

Hi - my sister is 33 weeks pregnant. Her baby is breech. Obviously the baby may move by itself, and she's booked in to have it manipulated (don't know the correct medical term for this although she did tell me)

If it stays breech though, what can she expect? Will she be offered a C-section? Or will she still have regular labour followed be emergency c-section if needed?

Also, if you can be bothered relating your breech birth experience on this thread, that would be great.

Thanks so much.

I know this might sound a daft question, but why don't they just scan you to double check the baby's position? Is it simply down to money and resource? I've heard time and time again that they get the position wrong so prodding your bump can't be a fool proof way of checking .. ??

Sorry, I mean as a matter of course .. just a general question not related to any poster
