Advice on breech delivery or options please!!

Laura

I’m 35 weeks an 2 days pregnant, since 27 weeks my baby has been in a breech frank position, this is were her bum is facing down but her legs an her head are facing up (kinda folded in half) well I’ve been told that if she’s not turned by my 37 weeks scan I will be booked with a consultant to discuss attempting to turn her or to discuss a c section. However on the nhs website it says they look to only do c sections on this positioning until 37 weeks an I’m getting really panicky. I am not delivering my baby still breech frank as they have to cut you quite a lot to allow her to come out folded an it looks brutal. I don’t no if I should refuse the turning option an just ask for the c section due to time scaling or if I should take the attempted turning an just hope it works/she doesn’t turn back. I’m kind of not being given much advice tbh and they are just seemingly waiting to see how it turns out at this stage.

My husband keeps telling me I need to be more vocal on what I want an keep pushing for support as those women who just float along an don’t let their feelings be heard don’t receive support until it reaches an emergency situation.
