What exactly is a version?

Question

My baby is still breech at 37 weeks and a lot of mothers here said they are getting a version to flip him. What exactly do they do to flip him?

Answer

This is what I found online..

While the uterus is relaxed, your doctor will attempt to turn the fetus. With both hands on the surface of your abdomen—one by the fetus's head and the other by the buttocks—the doctor pushes and rolls the fetus to a head-down position. You will feel discomfort during a version procedure, especially if it causes the uterus to contract. The amount of discomfort depends on how sensitive your abdomen is and how hard the doctor presses on your abdomen during the version attempt.

You can find lots of info about the actual procedure and what happens online. Or ask your midwife or GP for more info! ☺️
